LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Habitat for Humanity Lake County is continuing to seek contributions from the community as it pursues a goal of making homes more accessible for seniors, veterans and those with physical challenges.
This year Habitat for Humanity began its “Wheelchair Ramps & Lifts Initiative.”
The initiative's goal included $75,000 to go toward the purchase of wheelchair ramps and wheelchair lifts to provide Lake County's disabled, low income seniors and veterans the means to get in and out of their homes freely.
To date, the organization has raised $42,800, which has provided wheelchair ramps and wheelchair lifts to individuals and families that desperately needed them.
Among those residents was Korean War veteran Robert Veitch, who was confined to his home prior to Habitat for Humanity’s installation of the ramp.
Habitat for Humanity said the need in Lake County is great and more donations are needed.
If you would like to contribute to this initiative, or if you know someone with a ramp or lift system they no longer need and would be willing to donate, please contact Habitat for Humanity Office at 707-994-1100.
To help Habitat for Humanity continue to give the gift of mobility and home access to those in our community that need it most, call for more information.
