gemach ad
For some time now, we at Hatzolah have been interested in opening a medical gemach in line with our ethos of chesed and medical service
to the community. We have always refrained from opening a gemach as we did not want to do anything in competition with the good work
Robert Kropman (may hismemory be blessed) was doingwith hismedical gemach.
Subsequent toMr Kropman’s passing, in a meeting with his wife, Mary Kropman, she advised us that after Robert’s passing she had found it
difficult to operate the gemach effectively andwas interested inHatzolah taking over the equipment and running amedical gemach.
We are privileged to offer this additional service to the community in lovingmemory of Robert Kropman.
The gemach currently stocks wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, commodes and other items for short term loan. Anybody in need of these
items for a short period of time (4-6 weeks) should contact the gemach on
0860 004 666
.
The gemach is open from7am-7pmweekdays and
Sundays. The gemach is not open on Shabbos or YomTov.
There is no charge for borrowing equipment fromthe gemach, this is a free service to the community. Donationswill certainly bewelcome.
