Free medical equipment loan closets in New Jersey: 20 programs listed

Medical disclaimer. Nothing here is medical advice. Equipment that fits badly can cause injury or fall risk. Ask a doctor, nurse, or physical or occupational therapist what you need and what size before you borrow.

Call first. Stock changes daily and many programs run on volunteer hours or by appointment. Confirm hours, stock, who can borrow and any fee before you travel.

This page lists the 20 programs we found in New Jersey from public sources: 10 confirmed on a program or agency page, and 10 marked Unconfirmed: call to verify. This is a partial list, not every closet in New Jersey. Each listing shows its source link and the date it was last verified. Other states are listed here; states without listings are not yet researched.

State assistive-technology programs mostly lend assistive technology (communication, daily-living and similar aids) and some also run durable-medical-equipment reuse; check each listing for what it stocks.
