At the December 30 noon meeting of the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville, Christopher D. Brand described the work of FODAC, the Friends of Disabled Adults and Children. He serves as president of this group which supports the disabled by promoting “increased independence and more participation in education, the workplace, and the community.” FODAC is the largest domestic distribution program of used home care equipment to those who need it; they collect and distribute donated equipment such as wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, hospital beds, computers, scooters, and shower equipment, as well as provide home and vehicle modification aid, most free or at a minimal charge. They serve the local community needs for supplies first and then move to regional, national, and international requests. Volunteers refurbish donations and organize the very large operation center located in the Stone Mountain/Tucker area. The center has an annual operating budget of $1.3 million and has 25 employees. They have participated in relief for such disasters as Katrina; Sandy; Moore, OK; and Haiti. The most current need is for a new box truck for pick-ups and deliveries. He expressed thanks for the many organizations and hospitals which participate in this nationally acclaimed “best practices” program and provide this valuable service to the disabled.
