Program Description
"Wheelchair ramps are a necessity for many people with disabilities, but cost thousands of dollars to install. Many cannot afford to have them built at their homes, and are unable to enter or leave without help. One of Civitan's most widespread club projects is the construction of wheelchair ramps, built on-site for those in need."
