  • Volunteer to Help with Pick-Up: We need trucks, trailers and volunteers to help collect donations on Saturday, August 5! The group will meet at 8:30 AM on the back patio of the 57th Restaurant (next to PDK Airport on Clairmont Road in Chamblee for breakfast and socializing before heading out to pick up equipment at 9 or 9:30. We are usually done between 1 and 2. 

Over the years, this project has collected approximately $1,800,000 worth of durable medical equipment from local residents and businesses in the metro Atlanta area that is refurbished and redistributed to those in need in our community by FODAC.
