Equipment donation program

Through the Equipment Donation Program (EDP), ECFC connects costly adaptive equipment from children with disabilities who outgrow the equipment to other children who need it, at no cost to the families.

Parents of children living with disabilities are often overwhelmed with the high cost of adaptive equipment and meeting the changing needs as their child grows.  Children living with disabilities often require a variety of equipments to perform daily tasks and as they grow they will need additional equipment. Adaptive equipment is costly and insurance companies frequently do not cover the much-needed items or are too slow in approving the items.

Through our Equipment Donation Program, ECFC receives donated equipment such as standing frames, walkers and gait trainers, bath equipment, adaptive bicycles, therapy equipment including swings, bolsters and benches, adaptive seating, and adaptive strollers. These items are cleaned, checked for proper operating condition, and as needed repaired. The items are then uploaded to our inventory page where families in need and/or their medical providers can request the items free of charge and schedule a time to pick up the equipment to be fitted to the child by their physical therapist. If the child does not have a physical or occupational therapist to assist with the correct type of equipment, fit the child to the equipment, and instruct the family on its use, ECFC offers a monthly fitting workshop where our physical therapist can assist families with the equipment.

ECFC’s Equipment Donation Program enables children to be more independent, play with friends and siblings, participate in meal and bath times, safely move from their school to their home, change positions with more ease and comfort, and move more often to be healthier, active children. ECFC serves children with disabilities and their families in Maryland, DC, and northern Virginia. 
   
If you need this program, check out our current inventory and then fill out and submit the equipment request form. If the item is still available, the family will be contacted by ECFC to set up an appointment to pick up the item. Equipment is picked up and dropped off by appointment at our offices in Columbia, MD.

Please see the front page for current policies and hours for drop offs and pickups during the COVID 19 pandemic.
