The Council on Aging, Gladwin County accepts lightly used, good-condition assistive equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs and canes, along with unopened packages of incontinence products including Depends, bed pads and liners. Donated equipment and supplies are redistributed to seniors in need, making this a specialized estate donation resource for medical-assistive items that might otherwise be difficult to place. For executors, administrators and families clearing a residence, this can provide a focused outlet for qualifying estate property that matches the organization’s current needs.

This is a limited-category program rather than a general thrift store. Equipment should be usable and in good condition, and donors should confirm current storage capacity and item needs before delivery. The organization also accepts certain vehicle donations through a separate partner program. Save a trip! Call Council on Aging, Gladwin County – Assistive Item Donations first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
