SPARTANBURG SHARES

Free Medical Loan Closet for Spartanburg County Residents

We are seeking volunteers for all shifts! Contact Lead Volunteer Coordinator Evan Carr at info@spartanburgshares.org with any questions or more information.

A few housekeeping updates:

If you have donations of perishable items (diapers, briefs, pads, colostomy supplies, drinks), we recommend donating these directly to our partner organization Help For Our Elderly. Their hours are Mondays-Thursdays from 10am-3pm, and they can be reached at (864) 308-8388. Help For Our Elderly is located at 2375 E Main St SteA-311, Spartanburg, SC 29307 (in Spartanburg Mews, next to Verizon Wireless and near the Eastside/Hillcrest Walmart).

Also, we do not offer pick-up or delivery of items to homes or businesses. Someone must be able to stop by our facilities during business hours to pick items up for themselves or recipients (or to donate or return equipment). If this is something you cannot do, we require you to have a trusted contact with an appropriately-sized vehicle who can do this for you. Also, if there is an especially large item such as a patient lift, we require a truck/other large vehicle and some supplies to help secure all loads (ropes, zip ties, etc). Anyone checking out equipment must have a driver's license or other photo ID and a vehicle to borrow equipment from us (whether for themselves or someone else).

Thank you for your support!

Thanks, SC Hunters for the Hungry

In this time of giving, Spartanburg Shares wants to thank the wonderful donors who help us keep serving our county. We want to thank South Carolina Hunters for the Hungry for donating knee scooters, wheelchairs and more. Jack Lister visited the Spartanburg Shares offices and delivered the items. Good work, and thank you so much! Visit www.schuntersforthehungry.com for information on how you can support the fight for hunger in our area.

We are proud to announce that we were a winner of the Best of South Carolina award from Guide to South Carolina for best Charitable Organization in the state!
