Volunteering Made Easy
Texas Ramp Project in Denton County
GLC's Project Wheelchair Ramp becomes the Texas Ramp Project in Denton County
Greater Lewisville Cares has decided to team up with Texas Ramps to create the “Texas Ramp Project in Denton County.”
As of August 2008, Texas Ramps will take over the responsibility of responding to ramp requests in Denton County including accepting referrals, ramp design, and installation activities. GLC will continue providing support to ramp building in Denton County by organizing volunteers. For further details on the transition see the Press Release section of our website.
In 1985, the Kiwanis Club of Richardson, TX began building access ramps for residents of the Dallas area. In the years since, this effort has grown into The Texas Ramp Project, with thousands of ramps built by a network of volunteers across the state. The Texas Ramp Project works with local cities, social-services organizations, and hospitals to identify clients who need a ramp.
Visit the Texas Ramps website for more information on the program. Also look for Denton County Texas Ramp builds in future GLC newsletters!
GLC would like to thank all the volunteers who made Project Wheelchair Ramp a huge success! So many of you gave up countless weekends to make mobility dreams come true. Special thanks go to our former Project Wheelchair Ramp program coordinator, David Truesdell. We built over 25 ramps since inception in 2005. Here’s to an even better and more successful program through Texas Ramps!
