Helping You Settle In While You Wait for Your Belongings

When you move to a new duty station, your household goods might take time to arrive. That’s why we have a Lending Closet at your local ACS. You can borrow basic kitchen, bedroom, or to help you get through those first days in your new home.

These items are free to borrow. You just need your military ID and a copy of your PCS orders. The Lending Closet is open to Soldiers, Families, and DoW Civilians.

Lending Closet

Available Items:

  • Pots and pans
  • Dishes and silverware
  • Coffee makers and toasters
  • Irons and ironing boards
  • Folding tables and chairs
