Maybe someone knows the answer...I seem to recall a place where you could borrow equipment like walkers, wheelchairs and turn them in when you no longer need them. Sumter Landing maybe? Anyone know? Thank you.

I was not aware of post #2. You may visit the Baptist thrift store on Citizen's blvd. They often have Walkers, canes, wheel chairs. Prices are reasonable. You can donate it back and consider the cost as rent.

This is awesome. A previous church we attended had a medical equipment ministry as well. People would check it out for as long as they need it and drop it back off.

Our neighborhood has, over the years, put together such a collection which is kept in someone's garage. Do you have a neighborhood group? If so, it may have the same.
