Past Projects
Wheelchair Ramp Project
When Joe*, a wheelchair-bound patient, was released from the hospital, his family had all the details of his care worked out except one: how to exit the house safely, especially in the case of an emergency.
​
Community Alliance of South County received the call from Joe's medical provider and went into action. We assembled a team of skilled and
dedicated volunteers from several South County area churches and built him a beautiful ramp.
​
Now Joe enjoys greater independence and safer entry and exit from his home.

Countless hours went into this project and its many steps: planning; site visits; obtaining permits; purchasing and delivering supplies materials and supplies; prepping the site;
and of course, assembling the ramp on one long,
hot Saturday. It indeed took a village!
