Medical/Adaptive Gifting Program |
Accessibility Survey
Goodwill's Medical/Adaptive Gifting Program provides medical and adaptive equipment and supplies to older adults and persons with disabilities, to enhance their daily living. The program is funded in part by United Way Services.
The professionally staffed program provides medical/adaptive equipment, including new and gently used manual and power wheelchairs, ambulatory devices (walkers and canes), scooters and bathroom safety equipment (raised toilet seats and shower seats). Medical supplies, such as disposable diapers and chuxs, and other items are available as well. Items donated by the local community are received, inspected, repaired as needed, then cleaned. They are then distributed to persons in need based on requests and recommendations for assistance, which can be made at any time by referral sources. A waiting list is available for equipment not in inventory.
The program provides assessment and supplies to individuals who have a need, whether it is to try out equipment before making a purchase, borrowing supplies in the short-term for emergency use, or while completing funding arrangements. The goal is to help individuals to increase self-confidence, and have greater independence.
To request medical or adaptive equipment or supplies, or to make a referral, individuals can call the program's equipment and customer service specialist at 521-4916, administrative specialist at 521-4923, or contact us online. The application process for items includes submission of an approved prescription by a doctor or other medical professional. Click here to download a copy of the application.
Goodwill of Central Virginia has partnered with the Rotary Club of Richmond, and other community agencies, that assist in connecting medical and adaptive equipment and supplies with the people who need it. RotaDapt is primarily targeted at recruiting additional community-based organizations, local businesses and healthcare professionals to become involved with the professionally staffed gifting program, operated at Goodwill's main facility at 6301 Midlothian Turnpike.
In addition to the direct services provided through the Medical/Adaptive Equipment Program, Goodwill's Greater Richmond Job Center, located at the main facility on the bus line, can assist in developing employment opportunities for those who utilize the program. Services include job development, employment preparation, placement services, and support in locating, obtaining and maintaining employment.
   
We are proud to partner with the Rotary Club of Richmond, the Virginia Department for the Aging, SeniorNavigator, and the Virginia Assistive Technology System.
