Programs Administered by Volunteers:
- Free Firewood Program is for members only. This program begins in November and ends when we run out of wood. CalFire and community members cut, split, and stack firewood every year and volunteers hand out wood on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am to 11:00am.
- Free Medical Equipment Loan Program is administered by staff and volunteers Monday thru Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm. We have bedside commodes, toilet risers, shower chairs, shower benches, front-wheeled walkers, seated walkers, and wheel chairs. Howard Foundation supports this program financially every year. Donations are accepted but not required. We are currently asking for a refundable $20.00 deposit on wheel chairs.
