Karl’s TV and Appliance to help collect wheelchairs

A Madison business is going to be collecting wheelchairs over the next couple of months.  Karl’s TV and Appliance in Madison is one of the designated collection sites for Hope Haven International Ministries’ regional wheelchair drive.  The wheelchair drive will be going on now through December 31st.  Karl’s TV and Appliance locations throughout the upper Midwest will serve as designated collection sites for people to drop off their new or used wheelchairs and mobility aids.  They are not accepting power wheelchairs or wooden crutches or canes.

Hope Haven International Ministries collects wheelchairs and mobility equipment nationwide, and restores donations to nearly new condition at several volunteer facilities, including the South Dakota State Penitentiary. Hope Haven then ships these mobility devices to developing countries where they are adapted for the recipients’ needs, and given free of cost to those in need of mobility.
