COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT | The Who Did It Club

For our first Community Spotlight, we’re recognizing the WHO Did It Club, a volunteer-run organization that has been quietly helping people throughout Norfolk County since 1944.

The club provides short-term loans of medical equipment completely free of charge, including wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches, commodes, hospital beds and other equipment for those who need a little extra assistance.

For someone dealing with a short-term recovery or an unexpected need for medical equipment at home, having access to a service like this can make a tremendous difference.

The WHO Did It Club is operated by local volunteers and supported through donations and fundraising, helping them continue providing this valuable service to people throughout Norfolk County.

If you or someone you know could benefit from their services, the WHO Did It Club can be reached at 519-428-0271. Equipment loans are available by appointment.

We’re fortunate to have organizations like the WHO Did It Club serving our community.

If you know of other local charities that you know make a difference, please leave a comment.

We’ll be sharing a little about who they are, the work they do, and the ways they support individuals and families within our community.

Many of these organizations do tremendous work quietly and behind the scenes, and we feel they deserve to be recognized.

If there is a local charity or organization that is close to your heart, or one you feel deserves a little more recognition, please leave us a comment below. We’d be honoured to help share their story.

We’ll be taking part in the Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 4, and we’re hoping to raise as much as we can in support of breast cancer research, compassionate support services, trusted information, and advocacy.
