The Upper Valley Health Closet in Lebanon, a vital resource providing free medical equipment to those in need, is facing an uncertain future as its lease comes to an end. This community-driven initiative has been a lifeline for many individuals requiring essential medical supplies, from wheelchairs to walkers, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder access to necessary equipment.

A dedicated group of volunteers is actively seeking a new location to continue their mission. They recognize the importance of sustaining this service, which has positively impacted countless lives in the region. As the deadline for their current lease approaches, the urgency to secure a new home has intensified.

Community support is crucial in this endeavor, and volunteers are reaching out to local organizations and businesses for assistance. The hope is to find a suitable space that can accommodate the Health Closet's operations, allowing them to continue serving the community and ensuring that those in need have access to the medical equipment essential for their well-being.
