Donate equipment in Ontario

ALS Canada accepts donations of new or gently used medical equipment and assistive devices based on the type and model of equipment and its age. These donations become part of the ALS Canada Equipment Loan Program to be loaned to people living with ALS for however long they need it – free of charge. All donations of medical equipment and assistive devices are eligible for a tax receipt.

Your equipment makes a difference

Over time, someone living with ALS will need different types of equipment as the disease progresses and they lose mobility and communication abilities. Donated equipment can have a significant positive impact on the quality of their daily life.

Some of the most commonly accepted items include: Hospital beds and mattresses, Portable lifts and lift systems, manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs without tilt, wheeled commodes and powered bath lifts. In order to meet our Equipment Guidelines, any equipment accepted as a donation must be less than 5 years of age and in good condition with no missing parts or repair required.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept items that are not part of the ALS Canada Equipment Loan Program. This includes stairlifts, feeding tubes and supplies, medication, bedding and some mobility items such as canes and crutches.
