The East Tennessee Technology Access Center needs new battery operated toys to give to over 100 children with disabilities in 24 counties who cannot use their hands to play with typical toys. These toys will be rewired so that they can be connected to special switches for the children to press. ETTAC’s elves need time to do this before the holiday distribution party December 8th.
ETTAC will be conducting two trainings for volunteers to learn how to adapt toys on Tuesday, October 14th and Thursday, October 16th evenings.
Space is limited. If you are interested, please call (865) 219-0130 for more information.
Please drop off toys by October 14th at ETTAC’s Knoxville office at 4918 N. Broadway. ETTAC is open Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm.
