Bill's Creek Community Center Medical Equipment Loan Closet awarded "Best in Class"

The Bill's Creek Community Center was awarded the "Best in Class" award at the 2025 WNC Communities Foundation award ceremony. The honor was given to acknowledge excellence in serving the community with their addition of the Medical Equipment Loan Closet, (MELC). The MELC loans out wheelchairs, walkers and other durable medical equipment, free of charge. The service is available to residents of Rutherford, Polk and McDowell counties.

"Only six of the 81 community centers in Western North Carolina we're given the best in class award at the WNC Community Foundation award luncheon. The medical equipment loan closet at the Bill's Creek Community Center was one of these six" stated Chuck Landever.

This award would not be possible without the hard work of Julia Hampton, Manager, and a generous grant from the Carolina Foothills Foundation.

If any durable medical equipment is needed please call 828-919-2911.
