Build Wheelchair Ramps for Seniors

CASA builds wheelchair ramps for needy individuals regardless of income or age and at no cost to the client. Wheelchair ramps provide CASA clients the mobility necessary for safely entering and leaving their homes, while promoting a sense of independence and freedom and access to the outside world. Each ramp is custom designed for each client and built by CASA volunteers. By providing wheelchair ramps, we are providing our clients with the knowledge that there are people in the community who truly care about their well-being.

Hear from the U.S. Army Warrant Officers Ramp Team about creating a successful ramp team.

 

CASA Warehouse Volunteer Opportunities

The CASA Warehouse provides an indoor facility for ramp sections to be pre-built prior to the site builds.  This has been a great step in improving the Wheelchair Ramp Building process.  Click here to find out how you can be a part of this new opportunity.
