The AgrAbility Virginia Assistive Technology Fund

AgrAbility Virginia works to help farmers and farm workers with injury, illness, or disability to continue working safely and efficiently. Assistive technologies are one way we accomplish this mission. If our clients or partners are not able to provide funding for technologies, we can utilize the Assistive Technology Fund. A great way to support the work of AgrAbility Virginia is to donate to this fund.
