If you, or someone you know, need to borrow home medical equipment (things like wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, crutches, etc), our program provides short term loans to people need. Please call Good News Project to reserve your items in advance. If we have what you need, we can bring it to your community for you to pick up. A monetary donation for the loaned items is suggested, but not required.
Previously equipment borrowed from Good News Project can be returned at the truck, and donations of ‘gently used’ medical equipment will be accepted, as items are needed.

WINTER WEATHER PROTOCOL – If our truck is unable to make the trip to your community on a given day, we will post a message on this local social media site. We will call everyone who is scheduled to pick up equipment. If you are planning to stop with a return or donation, and are wondering if we will be there, please call our office to ask, before you leave home. 715-843-5985.
For further information call 715-843-5985 or go to goodnewswi.com and look for the Mobile HELP Truck under OUR PROGRAMS.
