Got any durable medical equipment and assistive technology to donate?

The South Carolina Assistive Technology Project through collaboration with Walton Options for Independent Living, has become part of the Southeastern Technology Access and Reuse Network (STAR), a regional initiative committed to finding alternatives to disposal of used durable medical equipment and assistive technology no longer being used by the original owner.

The goal of this collaboration is to provide South Carolinians and South Carolina's organizations with opportunities to access assistive technology and durable medical equipment through the redistribution of used equipment that has been sanitized, checked for safety, and repaired for appropriate use.

Walton Options will be collecting donated equipment from partner sites in selected cities throughout South Carolina and then preparing it for redistribution to persons who need the equipment.

Donated items such as wheelchairs, tub benches, hospital beds, hoyer lifts, cctv’s, rolling walkers, lift chairs, cell phones, and specialized assistive technology such as communication boards, cctv’s, amplified hearing devices are all needed to build the equipment supply.

Please call Anita Howard or James Sparks at 1-877-821-8400 or email equipmentdepot@waltonoptions.org to get information on where you may drop off donations.

More information about requests for used equipment and pickup routes will be coming in the future.
