Lending Hangar
Soldier Service Center, Rm. 177
(334) 255-2887/3161
Everyone knows that moving is no easy feat. That’s why the Fort Rucker Lending Hangar is here to ease the transition for those PCS-ing to or from the installation. Located in Room 177 on the first floor of the Soldier Service Center, the Lending Hangar offers free use of appliances including coffee pots, toasters, dishes, pots and pans, roll away beds, kids’ items, and even televisions.
Ruth Gonzalez, Relocation Readiness Program Manger, encourages the Fort Rucker community to utilize the Lending Hangar’s free service. “It saves you money and can help you be proactive when moving,” says Ruth. “You can ship your household goods early, so you know they will be there when you arrive and still be able to sleep and cook at home without having to pay for fast food. Financially, it’s a good call.”
The most popular items people look for at the Lending Hangar are cookware and sleeping mats. Microwaves are also a popular choice for those moving on post as the Picerne housing does not come furnished with that particular appliance.
Ruth said people are often surprised to learn that the Lending Hangar has televisions available. “Our TV’s are a big hit because not all lending closets have them,” she explained. “People come looking for kitchen and cooking items, but then they see the TV’s and think ‘Yes, entertainment!’” Televisions are available for Soldiers that are PCSing with family. They are available for check-out for a period of 30 days.
The Lending Hangar is open to all government ID card holders including Soldiers, Army Civilians, Family members and Retirees. Service is also available if you’re not in transition. When Family comes to visit for the holidays, the Lending Hangar is there to ensure you are fully equipped to enjoy your visitors.
So how does it work?
If you’re arriving or leaving Fort Rucker you can check out items for up to 30 days (exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis). You will need to bring the following:
For permanent party or retirees who have Family visiting and need items for short-term lending, simply bring in your ID card.
Every installation has a lending closet that provides free use of basic household items. The inventory of items can vary depending on where you go, so be sure to look into what is available at your destination ahead of time.
The Lending Hangar is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. however customers are encouraged to call ahead of time at (334) 255-2887/3161 to ensure someone is available to assist. The Lending Hangar is part of the Relocation Readiness Program with Army Community Services.
