The St. Louis Health Equipment Lending Program (St. Louis HELP) assists people in all walks of life who need home health equipment that they cannot afford or which is not covered by Medicare or private insurance.

As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2008, we accept donations of home health equipment that our skilled staff and volunteers revitalize and then we make it available for free to anyone. We help thousands of people recovering from accidents, illness or surgery every year.

This year we diverted more than 150 tons of material from being dumped in landfills – home health devices that we loaned; equipment we sent to needy organizations in other countries; and broken parts that we recycled.

As a small, independent nonprofit group, we rely on financial donations and grants from caring individuals like you and community organizations to help support our benevolent mission.

Please support our mission with a tax-deductible financial donation. Please send your check to St. Louis HELP, 1640 Andrew Drive, St. Louis, MO 63122, or click the donor button on our website http://stlhelp.org. For free loans of home health equipment or to donate items, call us at (314) 567-4700. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
