The purpose of the H.E.L.P. Program is to lend hospital equipment to those in need. It is sponsored and supported by Silver City Masons (Freemasons), and private donations.

The H.E.L.P. program loans out handicap equipment of all sorts, from canes, crutches and walkers to hospital beds, shower chairs and wheel chairs, all FREE of charge.  It does not matter what your financial situation may be or where you live, all we ask is that you return the equipment when there is no longer a need so that it may be refurbished and loaned out again.

Most, if not all of our equipment is donated, some of which is brand new or slightly used that is refurbished to be loaned out to those in need.  This is just one way Freemasons here in Silver City are doing their part to help our community.

With the rising cost of healthcare, the demand for these services has increased and we want the public to know that the Freemasons are ready to help and we are just a phone call away.  Please pass this information along to friends and family or anyone else that may need some help or have equipment to donate.

Freemasons have been part of the Silver City community for over a hundred years helping out in many ways, and we plan to be here for many more years to come, doing all that we can to make Silver City a great place to live. This is just one of the many ways the Masonic Lodge supports the community.

For additional information on this activity and others, please contact a Mason near you or call, Billy Dugger at 534-0181, David Fischer at 538-2214 or Bruce Tolhurst at 590-4561, all committee men for this effort.
