Medical/Hospital
Equipment Loan Program:
pkauz46@gmail.com
Our medical equipment loan program is available to people in need throughout the upper Yakima County, including Union Gap, Yakima, Selah, Naches, and the White and Chinook Pass areas.
The Naches Lions Club was chartered in 1949, one of the first in this area, with 33 original members. The number of active members has been pretty consistent over the years... usually between 30 and 40 or so. Most of the Naches Valley's key citizens have been part of our club over the years.
Our longest running service activity is the annual Sportsman's Days Festival. This great little bit of small-town-Americana is still the highlight of the year for Naches Valley folks. In recent years we have encouraged more participation and leadership of this event from other groups and individuals in Naches. As a result, the celebration gets ever better each year!
Other major accomplishments and services we have provided over the years include:
- Armed Forces Flag Pavilion at Depot Park
- Applewood Park
- Health Screening checks
- High School Football field lighting
- Picnic Shelters at Depot Park
- Easter Egg Hunt
- Halloween Hot Dogs in the bandstand
- Assistance with glasses
- Other sight- and hearing-related needs
- Special assistance to handicapped and special-needs students
- Assistance to families in need of a ramp, a roof or other home improvement
- Scholarships to Naches Valley students
- Town decorations - especially at Christmas
- Hospital equipment (beds, wheelchairs, etc.) for needy neighbors
