Loan Closet

The mission of the Army Community Service Lending Closet is to provide basic housekeeping items pre-departure or upon arrival and in other cases, as deemed appropriate. Whether you need a coffee maker, toaster or a full kitchen setup, check with the ACS Relocation Readiness Program manager to inquire before making any unnecessary purchases. Items are available at no cost and are loaned on a temporary basis. Bedding (cots/mats) towels, bed linens and baby items (height chairs and child car / booster seats) are not available, so be sure to pack those items in your hold baggage.

Terms and Conditions

All items are loaned for an initial period of 30 days. If warranted, this due date may be extended in 30-day increments up to a maximum of 90 days.

If the equipment is not returned by the due date, relocation office staff will call to remind and then send a confirmation email to the soldier with a copy furnished to the unit commander as determined necessary.

All items are issued in serviceable condition. It is expected that the items be returned in the same condition. Reimbursement or replacement for lost, broken, missing or damaged items is required.
