Recipients are literally freed from their houses and individuals are able to return home from the hospital because of the service that this program provides. Thanks to our strong union supporters, Project Indpendence is in its fifth year of making a positive impact in the community and has now helped more than 50 individuals and families.
The ramps are built as modules and, once no longer needed by the current recipient, will be transferred to someone on the waiting list.
