Audio-Reader to host donation drive at Fairlawn Plaza in Topeka to support audio sale

LAWRENCE — The Audio-Reader Network invites Topeka-area residents to support its fall benefit sale by donating gently used audio equipment and music items during an upcoming Donation Drive from 4 to 7 p.m. May 1 at Fairlawn Plaza, outside the Kiku Japanese Steak House entrance.

Audio-Reader seeks donations of stereo equipment, speakers, vinyl records, cassette tapes and musical instruments. These items will be resold during Audio-Reader’s popular Audio Sale on Sept. 13, with all proceeds directly supporting its mission to provide free accessibility services for individuals who are blind, visually impaired or print disabled.

“This is a great opportunity to clear out your closets and attics while supporting accessible services for thousands of listeners across the region,” said Meredith Johanning, assistant development director at Audio-Reader.

A full list of acceptable donation items can be found at the Audio-Reader sale webpage.
