🚑 Did you know?
St. Vincent de Paul offers a Medical Equipment Loan Station right inside our store — and it’s completely FREE to use!

We have a variety of items available, including walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, shower chairs, and more. If you or someone you know needs a little extra support, stop in and borrow what you need. All we ask is that you return the item when you're finished so someone else in our community can benefit too. 💙

We also gratefully accept donations for the use of this service. If you’d like to give back, simply let the cashier know you'd like to make a donation toward our medical equipment program.

Together, we’re helping neighbors help neighbors. 🫶
Stop in and check it out!
