Volunteer Opportunities with FODAC

One of the strengths of our organization is the loving support we receive from our community of volunteers. Here is a short list of how you can help become a friend of an adult or child with a disability. We welcome volunteers to assist us Monday through Friday, from the hours of 9AM to 5PM. Community groups can come for work projects on Saturdays by appointment.
  1. General mechanical and or electrical skills. Volunteers are needed to help repair wheelchairs, both manual and electric. Also general assistance is needed in the warehouse including assembly of hospital beds.
  2. Clerical duties: Volunteers are needed to enter client data in the computer, call clients who have requested medical equipment, answer incoming phones, and input financial data. Valuable help is needed on our pick-up scheduling desk.
  3. Equipment pick-ups: Volunteers are needed to assist with picking up new and used medical equipment in the community for repair and distribution from FODAC.
  4. Ramp building: Volunteer groups are needed to help build ramps to provide access to homes in the Atlanta area for people with disabilities. Ramps can be built most anytime.
  5. Computer technical skills: FODAC also acquires donated computers. General computer repair skills are needed to test them and get in working order to use for staff, or to sell in our Thrift Store.
  6. Thrift Shop: Friends of Disabled Adults and Children operates a thrift store at its facility in Stone Mountain on Lewis Rd. Volunteers are needed in helping with the various aspects of the operation of this store including pricing, sorting, baling, minor assembly, and testing electronics. Volunteers are needed during regular hours and on Saturdays from 10AM to 4PM.
  7. Building maintenance and beautification: FODAC owns the 65,000 sq. ft. building in Stone Mountain. Volunteers are needed to assist with most aspects of maintenance and repairs from plumbing to painting to yard work. If you’re an expert in one of these areas we could use professional help too.
