Local Resources
Loan Closet of Howard County
The purpose of the Loan Closet of Howard County is a clearinghouse of donated medical equipment for temporary use to all Howard County residents. Many residents in need of medical equipment may not be able to afford these items, or they may only need equipment for a short period of time. Others have medical equipment they no longer need. The Loan Closet brings these two communities of people together.
They may be reached at https://www.howardcountymd.gov/
