This year's SC Assistive Technology Expo will have a special event that can impact the lives of South Carolinians with disabilities and age-related limitations.
We'll be having our first Equipment Donation Drive! The SC Assistive Technology Program and the Disability Action Center are sponsoring this event. Bring your used equipment to the Expo, as well as any assistive technology youd like to see passed on to someone in need. Your donation will be tax deductible.
Take the time to clean out your closets and garage. If youre not using or have outgrown equipment, theres a good chance it would be useful to another person. Declutter your life and help someone else at the same time! This is a once-a-year opportunity to provide equipment and technology to people who cant otherwise afford it!
Here's the information you'll need to participate:

West Columbia, S.C. 29169
