Tennessee Initiative Empowers Individuals with Autism Through Electronics Recycling Program

The initiative is currently welcoming device donations from residents in eight states: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Donations can be made at no cost. Learn More
