About Us
H.E.L.P. (Health Equipment
Loan Program) began...
H.E.L.P. was established in 2014 to serve the local community by providing access to durable medical equipment. Our research showed both a significant need and an available supply of gently used equipment within the community. Businesses and individuals contributed by donating these items, which we collected and stored at our newly designated location. Dedicated volunteers stepped up to manage the medical closet and ensure smooth operations.
We are currently seeking donations of durable medical equipment, both new and gently used. Items we need include, but are not limited to, wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, hospital beds, and blood pressure monitors. Please note, we are not accepting prescription medications. Thank you for your generosity!
