HDC Board GroundbreakingWe are often in need of various items throughout our programs in order to improve and enhance services. Below is a list of some of those needs:

Employment Services

A small fork truck is needed to load and unload trucks. Supplies are unloaded and finished products are loaded at the loading dock numerous times throughout the work day.

Tabletop Bar Coding Autobagger ... $18,927

This bar coding and autobagger is a piece of equipment used to perform subcontract jobs in the HDC workshop. A computer is connected to the autobagger to add bar coding to the bag.

Camera for Micrographics ... $4000

The Micrographics department is a training area that teaches individuals office-related skills. Document storage is a service provided to customers. The camera currently used is old and can no longer be repaired, so a replacement camera is needed.

Personal Independence Services

Adaptive Equipment for Computers ... $110

Individuals served in the Personal Independence program experience physical disabilities that make it difficult for them to use a regular mouse on a computer. A large mouse is needed for them to be able to grab and manipulate it better.

Residential Center

Wheelchairs ... $5000

Several individuals living at the Residential Center are in need of new wheelchairs because their physical conditions have worsened and they are losing their ability to ambulate safely.

Over half of the 54 residents at the Residential Center use wheelchairs. Repairs are needed frequently, and each repair typically costs between $300 and $500.

The group homes are in need of new love seats and sofas to replace worn furniture.
