Mobility Aids Lending Library (MALL) is a disabled-run nonprofit organization that provides free donated and gently used medical and mobility devices, including canes, walkers, scooters, and wheelchairs, to people who need them.
MALL’s mission of repurposing donated mobility aids offers an environmentally friendly alternative to discarding functional medical equipment.
We primarily serve Bloomington, IN, and surrounding areas. We welcome all Indiana residents and visitors to donate or pick up equipment at our downtown Bloomington storage facility.
At MALL, our clients and donors are at the heart of our mission. Here are a few stories from people who have gained greater safety, mobility, and independence thanks to donations from our community, and those whose gifts make our work possible.
A lifeline, happiness, and possibility
Being able to borrow a wheelchair for two months from MALL was a lifesaver for me. I had my pelvis broken and my surgeon was very strict on no weight bearing, but insurance deemed a wheelchair wasn’t necessary, that a walker was plenty – newsflash, it never would have been enough for me! Having a wheelchair made it possible for me to still leave my house safely during the time I could not bear any weight on my leg, I could still enjoy the beautiful fall weather in Bloomington! MALL provided me not only a wheelchair but a lifeline, happiness, and possibility.

Thank you!
I am very, very happy and excited that I got this new electric wheelchair. I feel like a big child with a new toy, and I’m just happy. I’m so happy to learn about the MALL. I went to the farmers’ market and you all were there. Someone handed me a business card, and I am so glad that I went that day. If it weren’t for the farmers’ market, I wouldn’t have ever known about this. We gotta get the word out!
