The Health Equipment Lending  Program at AGE provides FREE pieces of mobility equipment to seniors and people with disabilities. In 2011, HELP: 

• Gave out 2,500 pieces of equipment for free 
• Served  118 unique Zip Codes in 30 counties
• Helped seniors and their families in 60 Cities and 4 states!

 Right now, we have over 170 seniors on our waiting list for items! We rely on the support of the community to donate GENTLY used equipment to give out at no charge to seniors. Our most needed items are shower chairs/benches and incontinence products.

Help us HELP Central Texas seniors by donating your equipment or joining us at one of our events.
