“We know that when the need for medical equipment arises, getting the equipment may be a challenge,” Public Awareness Chair Linda Klinefelter said. “We work to make it a little bit easier to obtain needed items.”

For information or to arrange for a loan or return of equipment, call the automated telephone number at 360-504-0231. Leave a message with a name, telephone number and item needed or item to be returned.

A volunteer will respond and set up an appointment.

Monetary donations are used to purchase new equipment and pay rent on the storage units where the equipment is stored at The Sequim Stow Place, 600 N. Sequim Ave.

All donations are tax-deductible.
