The mission of Friends Of Disabled Adults & Children – FODAC – is to provide durable medical equipment (DME) such as wheelchairs and hospital beds at little or no cost to individuals with disabilities and their families. We seek to enhance the quality of life for people of all ages who have any type of illness or physical disability. Since 1986, FODAC has collected and distributed more than 50,000 wheelchairs!

FODAC provides over $9 million each year in equipment and services to the community at little or no cost to the recipients. FODAC is a 501(c)(3) and does not have direct funding from Medicare/Medicaid for the services offered. Most equipment for people with disabilities is issued for a suggested donation but some services have mandatory fees.

Chris Brand, FODAC’s President & CEO joined us to talk about the work of this extraordinary organization. Among other things, we discussed:

• FODAC’s broad reach of service to 19 states and islands like Puerto Rico
• The $1 Million worth of ventilators and 1,000s of N95 masks that have been distributed to help battle COVID-19
• Their super-complex planning and logistics
• How they help families deal with the stress of care-giving
• How to get involved!

Thank you, Chris Brand for your service to our community!
