Give away of assistive technology devices for people with disabilities

[Guest guest]

Attached and below is a public service announcement concerning a give away of assistive technology devices for people with disabilities that ETTAC is conducting June 19th. We specifically did not give our phone number on this because we don't want to overload our phones with requests, though we realize that people may call anyway. We are hoping you will honor that. Thank you for letting the public know about this offer.

Re: ETTAC is giving away old, but usable assistive technology

As part of its device reuse program, on Friday, June 19th the East Tennessee Technology Access Center will be giving away outdated, but still working and usable assistive technology devices, including wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, hospital beds, and other durable medical equipment; computers, monitors and educational software; as well as devices and software for people with visual, hearing or speech disabilities.

All equipment will be tagged with a person’s name who has requested equipment BEFORE June 19th. Please fax or email request that includes your name, day time phone number, and why you need this equipment to 865-219-0137 or etstactn@.... A staff member will then call to confirm the need for the device and give instructions for pickup or delivery. Priority for devices will be given to individuals with disabilities rather than agencies.

ETTAC is located at 4918 N. Broadway in the Fountain City section of Knoxville.
