Charlie’s Closet is a medical equipment clearinghouse. Our mission is to make medical equipment available to anyone who needs it (regardless of age or income), keeping usable equipment from going to the landfill. We accept donations of gently used equipment; clean it, check it for safety, and make it available to anyone requesting it.
The durable medical equipment that we provide ranges from canes, walkers, and commodes to wheelchairs and hospital beds. We also have soft goods available such as adult diapers and washable or disposable bed pads. There is a nominal fee of $1 per item, but monetary donations are always welcome.
Our primary focus is on the Guilford community because much of our annual funding comes from our local faith groups, the town of Guilford, and the Guilford Community Fund, but we provide equipment and accept donations from clients in communities up and down the shoreline.
All equipment donations and pick-ups are now by appointment only.
Hours for Equipment Pick-Ups are 9 – noon (Monday thru Friday).
Hours for Equipment Donations are 9 – 11:30 (Monday – Thursday).
Please call the office on 203-453-8359 and our volunteers will be happy to assist you.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Branford Community Foundation, we have been able to buy replacement parts to fix high demand broken equipment, such as rollators, hospital beds, knee scooters, and wheelchairs.
