Equipment Donation Drive!

Please share this information far and wide!

We’d love your help printing and distributing the Donation Drive Flyer (click  here) to churches, assisted living places, nursing homes, thrift stores, etc. Your help in getting the word out will make a huge difference in the amount of equipment provided to those who can’t afford it any other way.

Take the time to clean out your closets and garage! If you're not using or have outgrown equipment, there’s a good chance it would be useful to another person. Declutter your life and help others.

The South Carolina Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) and the Disability Action Center (DAC) are sponsoring an Equipment Donation Drive, in collaboration with the statewide SC Assistive Technology Expo on March 27, 2013 at Brookland Conference Center, West Columbia. See more information at http://sc.edu/scatp/donationdrive.html.
