Moorefield Lions Club Supports WHEMS

The Moorefield Lions Club has donated $10,000 to West Hardy Emergency Ambulance Services (WHEMS) to help pay for renovations to their future home at the site of the old Gapp Auto Repair business on Spring Avenue. In June 2024, WHEMS received notice from the owner of their present location, Jeff Fraley, that the non-profit ambulance service must vacate the building by the end of December. This caused considerable concern not only for WHEMS, but around the entire west Hardy area. The agency routinely responds to over 100 calls per month, providing a critical service to this side of the county. Lions Club treasurer Rob Class said that his organization is proud to support the effort to help maintain emergency services in the Moorefield area. He noted that a total of $42,000 is needed to complete renovations to the Gapp building.
