What do you do when you no longer need medical equipment? In many cases, it ends up in a basement corner or back of a closet. It can be tough to get rid of something that was originally very expensive but is no longer used.

St. Louis HELP (Health Equipment Lending Program) provides a better option than uselessly storing old equipment. The non-profit organization provides people in need with access to free home medical equipment through their recycle and reuse program.

Through St. Louis HELP, you can make a tax-deductible donation that will improve the life of someone in need. To contribute used (or new) equipment, call 314-567-4700. Or conveniently stop by a participating Walgreens during the upcoming Medical Equipment Donation Drive on Saturday, October 8, 2016 from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

Participating Walgreens are listed below, or click here to download a flyer with event details.

St. Louis HELP accepts donations of nearly every type of home medical equipment except oxygen and medications. This includes manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, scooters, canes, crutches, walkers, shower chairs, tub transfer benches, shower stools, grab bars, elevated toilet seats, portable commodes, lift chairs, seating cushions, back supports, hospital beds, ramps and stair lifts.
