It is our intention to provide a free lending center for medical and rehabilitation equipment for residents of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens County. This program provides a needed service to local area residents while expanding the availability of volunteer opportunities for members of the Anderson Lights of Hope program.

DISCLAIMER: For assessments and/or recommendations regarding your medical equipment needs, please consult your rehabilitation professional.

Policy Notice: Before lending out equipment, a liability form must be signed by the individual who will be using the medical equipment. Exceptions will only be made for individuals with power of attorney.

Many residents in our area are faced with the problem of not being able to afford medical equipment needed for home health care or may only need a piece of equipment for a short period of time. Some residents, on the other hand, have medical equipment at home and no longer have a use for it. To bridge this gap, the Loan Closet has been established to function as a clearinghouse for donated medical equipment available for temporary use.

This service is provided free of charge to all residents of Anderson, Pickens and Oconee County. The Loan Closet stores and maintains the equipment, operates a call center for receiving and processing equipment donations and requests for equipment from community members, and provides home pick-up and delivery of equipment. The Loan Closet also provides referrals to other community agencies for related services as needed
