Can you pick a donation up from my house?

Can you loan me a piece of equipment?
​
Unfortunately, InterVol does not have the resources to loan out the equipment that we collect. If you need to borrow a piece of medical equipment, please contact your local volunteer firefighter's association, volunteer ambulance service, or Lion's Club to find a medical equipment loan closet near you.
Can I buy medical supplies from InterVol?

While we do not charge for the supplies themselves, we do charge a reasonable fee in order to cover the cost of handling.
