The Hadley Senior Center operates a medical-equipment loan program and states that donations of clean, gently used equipment are appreciated. The program makes items such as walkers, crutches and wheelchairs available for loan, providing a local reuse option for durable medical and assistive equipment that may remain in a home after an estate is settled. This is a specialized donation resource rather than a general household-goods outlet.

The Senior Center asks donors to call ahead because available storage space and current equipment needs can vary. Executors should not assume that every medical item will be accepted; equipment should be clean, usable and in suitable condition for safe reuse. Sharps are handled under separate rules and are not part of the reusable-equipment donation program. Save a trip! Call Hadley Senior Center Medical Equipment Loan Program first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
