Need to borrow a wheelchair, walker, cane or crutches? Look no further than the San Carlos Farmers Market.
On Sunday, San Carlos Mayor Sara McDowell joined the San Carlos Parks & Recreation Department and other community advocates in celebrating the launch of the Medical Equipment Loan Program (MELP) at the Farmers’ Market.
MELP is a relatively new nonprofit partnership involving local Rotary Clubs, Villages of San Mateo County, and the City of San Carlos, that lends donated equipment to people who need them at no cost.
“In our short 6 months of operation we have loaned out over 100 pieces of equipment, and we have a couple hundred more in our inventory in two storage lockers in San Mateo,” officials said.
For more information about MELP or to volunteer, email BRS.Rotary.MEP@gmail.com or call (650) 590-9112.
