Personal Assistive Devices Requests/Donations
Effective: December 1, 2024
In September, we had to temporarily suspend our Personal Assistive Device (P.A.D) Program due to a lack of volunteers and delivery equipment.
This was a difficult decision for us because we continue to receive equipment requests every day. Additionally, we receive many equipment donations every week.
We are now re-opening the program to help us discern the level of need in our community.
If you have items to donate, you may need to drop them off at our storage facility.
Please note that pick-up and drop-off are by appointment only.
P.A.D. Donations
If you have items to donate, please fill out our Personal Assistive Device Donation Form.
P.A.D. Requests
If you need items, please fill out the Personal Assistive Device Request Form.
Volunteers Still Needed
For donations and requests, we will try to respond as soon as possible. Again, we do not currently have drivers available for pick up or delivery.
Until we can find a dedicated team of volunteers to manage requests and donations from the community, we cannot accept a high volume of equipment requests or donations.
We are also considering this as a part-time, paid position. If you are a business or individual interested in donating to this position, please contact us.
If you or someone you know meets the P.A.D. Program Volunteer description below, please fill out our Volunteer Application Form.
