Join us for United Way of East Central Iowa’s first Day of Action. In one day, we will fight for the health of low-income seniors by building wheelchair accessible ramps allowing two Aging Services clients be able to freely leave their home for medical appointments and help reconnect them with the community.
Sign-up to join our team of volunteers, no building experience required. We will have skilled volunteers from Wheelchair Ramp Accessibility Program leading the build, so training and mentoring is provided onsite!
