Evergreen Reuse Coalition
The Evergreen Reuse Coalition is a WATAP-supported statewide coalition enriching lives through effective reuse of assistive devices across Washington. Reuse organizations ensure donated equipment is refurbished and reassigned to those who need it. Each year, the Coalition's efforts lead to the reuse of thousands of pieces of donated equipment!
What We Do
The Coalition is made up of organizations who provide effective reuse of assistive devices to make a positive impact in three key areas: to the environment by reducing the amount of useable products that ends up in landfills; to quality of life by making assistive devices available to improve mobility, communication, and full participation in all aspects of daily life; and to cost savings for individuals by offering affordable alternatives to new devices.
Who We Are
Reusers: Organizations that accept, refurbish, and sanitize donations of assistive devices that are then matched and redistributed to individuals.
Access Centers: Organizations that accept donations of assistive devices and redistribute devices but may or may not take part in sanitization or refurbishing of devices. Access Centers provide direct services and regional access for device drop-off and redistribution.
Community Partners: People, groups, and organizations that support and participate in Coalition activities but do not necessarily provide space for collection or redistribution of assistive device. Community Partners can help with transportation needs, holding device drives, volunteer management, or technical support.
