Core Values

We operate through donations and community support. Your generosity
ensures that everyone has access to the equipment they need. You can help by....

Our Beliefs

At H.E.L.P. we believe that everyone deserves access to essential medical equipment without financial burden. Our mission is to provide durable medical equipment free of charge to individuals in need, ensuring they can maintain their independence and quality of life.

Support

H.E.L.P. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to lending wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, and other essential medical equipment to individuals recovering from illness, injury, or those facing mobility challenges. Our goal is to support our community by making medical resources accessible and readily available.

Est. 2014

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.

Get Involved

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!
