What kind of equipment? Items like wheelchairs, modified vehicles, lift chairs and other devices and supplies. View available items on the device exchange website. Be sure to check back often. The list changes daily.
To request an item, complete the online form or print form. Some devices are listed by individuals. If this is the case, you will contact the person directly using the information from the listing.
