🎉 Big news! Live Thrive has partnered with @fodacorg (Friends of Disabled Adults and Children) to give home medical equipment (HME) a second chance. 💚 Simply bring your gently used HME to CHaRM DeKalb, and FODAC will collect the items, refurbish, sanitize, and redistribute it to people who need it most. The result? Less medical equipment ending up in landfills, and more independence, safety, and quality of life for the people who receive it. 🌍 ➡️ Examples of accepted items include: shower chairs and benches, bedside commodes and tables, children's adaptive equipment, home healthcare beds, wheelchairs and scooters, and walkers, rollators, crutches, and canes. ✅ See the full list of items accepted and book your drop-off appointment at livethrive.org (link in bio).

💚 This Labor Day (and every day!), we’re celebrating our incredible Live Thrive team! ☀️🌧️🥶 Rain, sleet, snow, freezing temps or Atlanta heat, our staff shows up and works hard to keep CHaRM running for the community we serve. We couldn’t do it without them, and we appreciate all they do! Happy Labor Day! 💚♻️

♻️ A great morning of recycling with our friends from Chick-fil-A!
