After an injury or hospital stay, here’s what can happen. You suddenly need medical equipment that you can’t afford and insurance — if you have it — might not cover it. A Caring Closet, a local nonprofit, to the rescue! You walk in and immediately a helpful volunteer directs you to the supplies you need.
All goods are donated, so you never know what you might find. Browse through crutches, walkers, and shower benches, but also all versions of wheelchairs and even Hoyer lifts and hospital beds — and much more.
A Caring Closet is like a thrift store for durable medical equipment except it’s free. Donations (money and goods) keep their doors open, so please call them to donate your leftover supplies (360-258-0039). Current hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 7500 N.E. 16th Ave.
Donate and let them help you keep your loved one safely at home.
