The goal of Project CARAT is to make Assistive Technology and Durable Medical Equipment more accessible to those who need it in underserved areas of Kentucky. In order to make this happen, Project CARAT is partnering with agencies across the state. We take donated equipment, clean it, make repairs if we need to, and then redistribute it to people who need it. If you live in Kentucky and have a need for equipment, or have equipment you’d like to donate, please let us know.
To date, project CARAT has provided 12,349 assistive technology/durable medical equipment items valued at over $3,063,955 (estimated MRSP) to 3,276 individuals with disabilities
