Currently we have contracts with both local and Fortune 500 companies that include packaging, light assembly, cut and sew, light manufacturing, sorting, direct mailings, etc. This program will help those who are in need of medical equipment such as crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, canes or even hospital beds. There is no charge for the loan of the equipment. The loan closet is stocked through donations and Goodwill Industries is always happy to receive any donations that will expand this loan program. When there is nowhere else to turn, people needing assistance with medical related expenses can turn to Goodwill Industries Easter Seal.
Aid is available as funding allows.
This fund was established to purchase customized manual wheelchairs for Kansans living within a 75 mile radius of Salina who are in the greatest need of this aid. Donation of good clothing and housewares are processed and sold in the stores. The services and programs previously described are funded in part with private contributions raised through direct mail requests, the Easter Seal Society telethon and special events include a Fall Bowling Bash, Sports Auction, Golf Classic and Festival of Trees Christmas Gala and Auction. More than 85 percent is spent on direct services to the disabled according to the recent annual audit. The agency is one of the largest community based, direct service agencies in Kansas.
