Are old wheelchairs and other useful equipment for people with disabilities collecting dust in your garage or basement? If you have adaptive equipment sitting idle for whatever reason—either your child has outgrown it, you purchased a new model, etc—Your scrap could be someone’s life saver. So why wait? Go ahead and dust off your old disability equipment and donate it!
There are quite a few donation centers for used disability equipment right here in the tri-state area that can put your “junk” to good use. The one’s listed below accept used adaptive equipment to fix up and give away to families in need not just domestically, but all around the world.
If you know an organization not listed here, or if you have feedback on any of these recommendations, send us an email at accessibledispatch@mtm-inc.net
PLEASE NOTE: Before donating, contact the location to make sure they can accept your donation, verify their address, and arrange delivery or pick-up of your used item(s).
