LH Rescue Squad has new equipment share program

The LHRS is asking anyone with post operative medical equipment they no longer use canes, crutches, walkers, shower chairs, bathroom booster seats, etc., to donate them to the LHRS. Items can be dropped off at both the Lake Harmony and Albrightsville Fire Companies.

The equipment will then become available to any Kidder Township resident who needs it at no charge and when the need is done, contact the LHRS and they’ll come pick it up.

More details in next month’s report.

The LHRS’ two ambulances responded to a total of 32 calls in June, traveling 1,823 miles. Of the 32 calls, 31 were in Lake Harmony, and one in Penn Forest Township. There were also 13 fire alarms.

The Breakfast fundraiser at Split Rock Lodge for the LHRS, shown at right, was well-attended on July 2. And, the hot dog fundraiser over race weekend at Harmony Beverage was successful.

Next up will be the new annual letter campaign, with mailing late in August. The LHRS has decided to order a second 4-wheel drive ambulance to replace current #1761 which now has over

73,000 miles on it. The new unit will take at least a year to arrive, and the new letter campaign will be key to making the first payment on it.
