The Giving Depot

Founded in 2022, The Legacy Foundation works to bridge gaps in healthcare access for families in need, served by physicians and medical students in South Dakota. Our programs focus on obtaining essential medical supplies more easily, supporting critically ill children and their families via humanitarian trips, and providing tangible solutions to healthcare barriers.

One of the programs at The Legacy Foundation is Owen's Outfitters, a medical equipment library located in Sioux Falls, SD. Families donate medical equipment or supplies they don't need anymore and we provide it to those in need free of charge.

Every day, families face the challenge of needing medical supplies that they simply cannot afford: children who need wheelchairs, adults who need diabetes supplies, and parents that need walkers or canes. Owen's Outfitters provides those supplies and everything in between. A donation of $50 helps us deliver a lift chair, hospital bed, feeding supplies, or a powerchair to a family in our community.
