Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is a medically necessary device you can use repeatedly. The most common types of DME include items such as wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. Assistive Technology (AT) is any item used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of a person with a disability. AT can include, but is not limited to, items such as phones, tablets, hearing amplification products, etc. The Good Use Program gives both DME and AT a second life at no cost to participants. There are no age requirements to participate. Donate or acquire previously used equipment following the guidelines below:

  • CLASS reserves the right to deny any donations that are not properly cleaned, have an appearance beyond the “gently used” guidelines, or items that appear damaged, require extensive repairs, and/or are deemed unsafe for a new user.
