The Society for Lending Comforts to the Sick is a group of Smithtown residents which seeks to comfort our community’s infirm and ailing.  Since 1906, we have loaned hospital and recuperative equipment free-of-charge to anyone living in the Township of Smithtown.

We warehouse all manner of hospital equipment -- everything from wheelchairs to walkers to crutches -- anything the recuperating patient might need to make their home-care more comfortable. 

You can have the equipment you need immediately -- no need to wait for Medicare!

Simply stop by during our Lending Hours Mon.-Fri. 6-8pm, Sat. 8-10am or call for an appointment.  We are happy to serve you

The Society is entirely volunteer-run.  We rely completely upon the generosity of Smithtown residents who realize the value of having a local organization to whom they can go when a need arises.   Our funds come from generous donations of our friends and supporters.   Your donation is tax-deductible!

We also raise much needed support through our Thrift Shop which is open on Tuesday mornings from 9am - 1pm all year long.  Your tax-deductible donation of new or gently-used clothing and household items will be gratefully accepted during Thrift Shop hours.

After the purchase and upkeep of new equipment, any additional funds go back to our community. We donate to other healthcare-related organizations in Smithtown to further impact our community.
