Cape Cod HELP
Lending medical equipment to those in need -
Now open Saturdays 10-Noon!!
We are an IRS approved 501.(c).3. non-profit organization registered with the Attorney General (AG) of Massachusetts. We are chartered and supported by the 20th & 21st Masonic Districts of Massachusetts but are here to serve all community members in need on Cape Cod. Our mission is to loan (not rent) donated medical equipment to people in need and have modeled our operation after the Woburn-based SMD HELP organization which has been active for over 50 years. We are operating out of the Fraternal Lodge building in Centerville and are now accepting requests for equipment as well as donations of equipment and cash to support operational expenses.
Open Saturdays 10-12
1989 Falmouth Road (Rt. 28) in Centerville
Due to increased demand we are now open for walk-in equipment requests and donations on Saturdays at the rear/side of the Fraternal Lodge building in Centerville.
