Farmington Valley residents have a great, free resource for durable medical equipment (DME) in the Granby DME Closet. Residents of the Farmington Valley can borrow wheelchairs, walkers, commodes and more, free of charge. Anyone in the Farmington Valley can borrow equipment from the closet, from teens recovering from sports injuries to those recovering from surgery to seniors coping with mobility issues.
To keep the Granby DME Closet running, we need help giving out this equipment, processing donations and keeping all of it clean. Volunteers can decide exactly how involved they want to be—choosing when and how often they would like to volunteer and what duties they would like to perform, up to and including managing the closet. Training is provided.
New volunteers are needed to join some of the more experienced workers to continue this valuable community service.
If you might be interested in this volunteer opportunity, or if you want to borrow or donate equipment, contact the Granby Senior Center at 860-844-5350.
