Northborough Helping Hands tracking down loaned medical equipment

Are you spring cleaning and realize that you never returned medical equipment that was borrowed from Northborough Helping Hands Association, Inc. (NHHA)?

One of the most successful programs of NHHA is its medical equipment loan program, which was established to assure the availability of free medical equipment for short or long term use. This free service is offered to any Northborough resident, and equipment is loaned out depending on availability.

Over the years, some equipment has never been returned. NHHA is reminding anyone, who has borrowed medical equipment in the past and no longer needs it, to please make arrangements to return it by contacting equipment@NorthboroughHelpingHands.org. Contact phone numbers are available at Shattuck Pharmacy (17 West Main St.), the Northborough Senior Center (119 Bearfoot Rd.), and Northborough Family & Youth Services located in Northborough Town Hall (63 Main St.).

The return of equipment you are no longer using will enable other individuals to benefit from the program in the future.

For those interested, a list of equipment that is available for loan can be found at www.northboroughhelpinghands.org.

The mission of NHHA is to coordinate programs to assist those in need. In addition to the medical equipment loan program, NHHA coordinates Thanksgiving food baskets, Christmas gifts, and a backpack drive. The organization works closely with other town agencies, businesses and organizations to meet its goals.
