A project that the Gloucester City Lions Club is in the medical field. We have acquired medical appliances and are lending them to the Gloucester City and Brooklawn residents at no cost. We have wheel chairs, electric hospital beds, walkers, canes, and portable commodes available for loan at the present time.
Lion Charles Nash is in charge of this project. If you have any medical equipment that you would like to donate to the Lions Club contact Mr. Nash.
It will be picked up, refurbished and made available at no cost to any resident of Gloucester City or Brooklawn.
Remember the Lions Club still collects old eyeglasses. This project helps many sight impaired people. The glasses are shipped to North Jersey where they are sorted and sent to impoverished countries.
