electronics-collectiosWHO: Rotary Clubs of Tucker and Stone Mountain

WHAT: Electronics Recycling Day

WHEN: Saturday, 5 November 2016, 9.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.

WHERE: First Christian Church of Atlanta, 4532 LaVista Road, Tucker, Georgia 30084

770.939.4358, www.firstchristianatlanta.org

WHY: The Rotary Clubs of Tucker and Stone Mountain will host an Electronics Recycling Day to benefit Friends of Disabled Adults and Children (FODAC). Working and non-working electronics (with the exception of CRT monitors) will be accepted for recycling at no charge, but participants are encouraged to make a donation to FODAC.

This year, the clubs will also accept durable medical equipment (DME), such as wheelchairs, power chairs, walkers, crutches and bedside commodes, which FODAC will clean and recycle to help those with mobility impairments.

Funds raised from the event help support FODAC’s main program supplying durable medical equipment (DME), such as wheelchairs, walkers and shower benches, to the mobility impaired and their caregivers, at little or no cost to the recipients.

About Rotary International

Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and around the globe. The 1.2 million Rotarians who hail from Rotary clubs in nearly every country in the world share a dedication to the ideal of Service above Self. Rotary clubs are open to people of all cultures and ethnicities and are not affiliated with any political or religious organizations. Learn more at www.rotary.org.

About FODAC

Friends of Disabled Adults and Children (FODAC) helps people with injuries and disabilities of all ages regain their mobility, independence and quality of life. The non-profit organization provides more than $10 million annually in refurbished home medical equipment (HME) and home modifications in Georgia and across the United States, all at little or no cost to the recipients. A pioneer in re-use, FODAC keeps 300 tons of materials out of landfills each year by refurbishing and reissuing over 400 HME items every month, and is recognized nationally for best practices. In 2014, FODAC was named to Charities Under 5% Overhead, an organization of charities that have operating overhead of five percent or less.

In 2013, Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) appointed FODAC to serve as the statewide distributor of HME and assistive technology in the event of a large population-affecting emergency situation. In this role, FODAC will warehouse the HME and other equipment, then, working with GEMA and the American Red Cross (ARC) of Georgia, will coordinate the delivery and distribution to emergency shelters around the state.
