THIS IS NOT A CURRENT ARTICLE. THIS ARTICLE WAS POSTED MARCH 16, 2020 IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID CRISIS
The Lending Cupboard is committed to protecting clients, volunteers and staff from COVID-19. The decision made by the Board of Directors and the Executive Director, Dawna Morey is to temporarily suspend services effective March 17, 2020 until further notice.
“Our Board of Directors top priority at this time is the safety of our clients, staff and volunteers. After much discussion the decision to suspend services was made today” says Bradley Williams Board Chair. Dawna Morey, Executive Director stated, “We know this is going to impact clients and our community in the short term but our long term goal is to be in the community doing what we do best. We will be keeping a close eye on the situation and making regular updates on our social media and website”.
The Lending Cupboard in Red Deer is a registered charity that lends medical equipment to citizens in Central Alberta. TLC provides medical equipment to those who need it with an inventory of more than 14,000 items. Every month The Lending Cupboard lends out approximately 1,300 items.
