Milestone ramp projects completed
Imagine suddenly being confined to a wheelchair and living in a home that requires steps for access. That was the recent dilemma for two area homeowners until they were referred to Rebuilding Together Geneseo/Cambridge.
Thanks to our dedicated ramp crew, our 30th ramp project was constructed in Atkinson and our 31st ramp was completed just a week later in Geneseo. See more ramp project photos.
Part of our home modifications program, the wheelchair ramps give our neighbors with mobility issues an easier way to come and go from home, allowing them to travel to the doctor, to the store, to visit family or to just get outside for a change of scenery. Constructed out of treated lumber, the modular sections "float" on the ground and are constructed to meet all safety and American with Disabilities Act codes and increase access to the home. Rebuilding Together returns annual to provide weatherization for all exposed wood.
Thanks to our ramp crew who provides this special service.
