SPRING CLEANING? Have any gently used sports gear you no longer need? Equipment Assist will gladly take it off your hands, clean it and donate it to local organizations that benefit underserved youth. There is a collection bin in the SWHS main lobby between the two showcases, or we can pick it up.

NOTE: To make things easier, we changed our Sunday, April 24th event to be pick ups only, so you don't even need to be home. Just leave the items on your doorstep and we will grab them. To schedule a pick up (in the South Windsor, CT area only), please email [email protected].

Thanks to all who looked around your house for unused sports gear this past weekend. Equipment Assist's first Spring pick-up was awesome - lots of skates, bats, helmets, cleats, balls and more...

The two organizations who will be distributing this equipment (Hartford PAL and Active City) are so grateful for your donations!

For those that missed Sunday's drive, please note we are hosting a donation drop-off event in South Windsor on Sunday April 24th (exact location and time TBD). Please email [email protected] with any questions. Thank you again!!
