The Medical Lending Closet is a service ministry of Park Ridge Community Church. Staffed solely by volunteers, the Closet provides a loan of medical equipment on a short-term, no fee basis to anyone in need in the greater community.
Some of the popular items available for loan: walkers, wheelchairs, bath chairs, raised toilet seats, crutches, transfer benches, sock aids, grabbers, deluxe walkers, commodes and more.
Equipment is loaned for up to three months (with the possibility of an extension).
Loans are not meant to be permanent arrangements.

The door bell there rings in the Medical Lending Closet office. Ring that bell and someone will be with you shortly. When picking up or returning larger items, you can use the pull-in space adjacent to the canopied door.
