Since 2017, Dave’s Locker has been offering everything from wheelchairs and walkers to hospital beds free to people in the community who find themselves in temporary need of medical devices.
It’s a saving grace for many people who can’t afford to buy or rent the equipment they need.
The Lindseys took over after founder Dave Matus retired. Matus, a firefighter, started the locker after he had hip surgery and couldn’t find the equipment he temporarily needed. After he ended up buying what he needed, Matus decided to start loaning it out along with other donated pieces. Today, Dave’s Locker loans out 300 pieces of equipment a month.
Don and Theresa manage the Locker free of cost while still working full-time jobs. Don is an Arvada firefighter and Theresa is an ICU nurse. They’ve done a lot to get more donations and organize things so they can easily be found online, but they say they couldn’t do it alone and give a lot of the credit to the other volunteers who help them.
