• The Philippi Lions Club is asking for your help! If you have received any medical equipment that you are no longer using, they ask that you get in touch with one of their members so that they can make arrangements to pick it up or meet at their storage building. If you're still using it, please feel free to keep it! They have had so many people in need of equipment lately, especially wheelchairs and rollators, that they can't keep any in stock. They purchased several new ones this year and they go out as quickly as they get them in.

  Medical equipment program began in 1966 when the family of a deceased Lion donated his specialty purchased home hospital bed. The Philippi Lions Ambulatory Equipment Committee was started, and its purpose was to find, obtain, and loan out medical equipment. The project is growing continually. They have hundreds of items loaned out at any given time.

  You can call Tina at 304-677-4136, Sabrina at 304-613-8663, Ira at 304-457-2070, Jud at 304-457-1359, Doug at 304-457-1247, or contact any member of the Philippi Lions Club. You can also send a message at our Facebook page "Lions Club of Philippi, WV."
