Wheelchairs. This initiative provides aid to those who
lack the freedom of mobility in our communities and
around the world. Whether councils are presenting wheelchairs to local veterans
and neighbors in need or donating funds to benefit those abroad, mobility
brings with it independence and dignity. Obtained at discounted prices, these
wheelchairs change the lives of their recipients. We are always in need
of wheelchairs at $150.00 each.
