From Upper South Carolina-
It's like a library for medical equipment.
That's the idea behind Spartanburg Shares, a new volunteer-driven outreach program that will open its doors Oct. 13.
People and medical facilities can donate their unused or unwanted crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, cast boots, bedside commodes and more to the Episcopal Church of the Advent. Others in need can rent them for free — like a library book — and return them when their need expires.
You don't have to file an insurance claim, fill out an income statement or make any sort of down payment. And you don't have to be uninsured to borrow equipment.
“All you need is a need,” said Bea Bruce, chairwoman. “This will be a great asset to the community.”
Bruce, a parishioner at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, helped bring the idea to Spartanburg, drawing inspiration from a similar facility that has operated for more than 45 years.
