As a way of recognizing their 50th anniversary, BraunAbility, the Winamac-based global leader in wheelchair accessible vehicles and lifts, is lending a hand to community members in need, while continuing to advocate for the disabled.  

Dedicated to enhancing independence and inclusion for individuals with mobility challenges the company has partnering with Servants at Work (SAWs), to set an ambitious goal: to build 50 ramps in 50 days in the communities where its employees live and work.

BraunAbility Senior Brand Manager Megan Wegner explains. 

The 50 home ramps will be built from July and August by SAWs and BraunAbility volunteers, completely free to the home’s occupant. Each ramp, which will take around four to six hours to complete, will be constructed of wood and adheres strictly to ADA standards.

To qualify for the ramp build, recipients must have a long-term disability and have a household income below the Area Mean Income for the state of residence.  

Donations are being accepted to help cover the costs of ramp build materials. To donate or to learn more about the program, visit here.
