The South Metro Medical Equipment Loan Closet has moved to a larger facility near Arapahoe Road & Dayton St.
We NEED volunteers to help answer phones and assist clients in this bright, clean space (which has AC & HEAT!). We have flexible schedules and ask volunteers to work 2-3 days a month.
About the South Metro Medical Loan Closet
The SMMELC is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide used durable medical equipment to persons age 18 and over who are in need to borrow it for a short term. In 2018, we loaned over 800 equipment items to 375 persons. Not only are we helping folks during surgery recovery or rehab or to be more comfortable in their end-stages of life, but we are keeping this equipment out of the landfill. We need your support so we can continue to loan equipment at no set fees, only asking for donations to keep us operating.
Medical Equipment is Always Needed!
If you need to borrow durable medical equipment , please call 720-443-2013 to set an appointment. We have wheelchairs, transport chairs, crutches, canes, walkers, bathroom aides, bedroom aides including hospital beds, dressing aides usually with several styles of each of these items. We loan for 3 months (not permanent), and ask for a donation when you return the equipment. Cash donations can be made to SMMELC, and mailed to 5942 S. Akron Way, Greenwood Village, CO 80111. or made on online at www.medicalequipmentloan.org.
If you want to make a donation of equipment, please call FIRST as we may not be able to accept items depending on our space allocations.
Volunteers are Always Needed!
Volunteers are needed to take phone calls once or twice a month and meet donors or clients to distribute equipment. You answer the phone in your home, or on your cell, and make appointments to accept or hand out equipment. Very little lifting is required and training is offered. Call Donna Ralston at 720-443-2013 for more details.
