Neighbors in Action – Assistive Devices Lending Library is a Minnesota donation resource in Houston County that accepts qualifying medical, mobility, or assistive equipment for reuse. Examples documented for this program include wheelchairs, crutches, canes, walkers, commodes, and other gently used assistive or mobility devices. Donated equipment should generally be clean, safe, and in usable condition. Call before donating to verify that the program is accepting the specific device and to arrange a drop-off time. This is a specialized donation option rather than a general household-goods outlet, so executors should separate qualifying health and mobility items from the rest of an estate before delivery.

For executors and families clearing a residence, a medical-equipment reuse program can keep useful equipment in circulation while providing an appropriate local destination for items that many ordinary thrift stores will not accept. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
