Servants at Work, Inc. (SAWS) has partnered with BraunAbility and the Community Foundation of Pulaski County to serve more families within the community.
The partnership marks a step forward in SAWS mission to provide access and mobility to people with ambulatory disabilities in low-income households. SAWS staff met with BraunAbility and the Community Foundation of Pulaski County in Winamac to discuss building plans and accessibility for residents throughout the county. BraunAbility shares its available space with volunteers who prefabricate the wooden ramps on site, to be assembled at clients’ homes.
SAWS toured the BraunAbility facility and met with accessibility advocates. BraunAbility has pledged to build several more ramps with SAWS in the next year for residents. Together, SAWS, BraunAbility and the Community Foundation of Pulaski County are committed to increasing access and enhancing the lives of people living with disabilities in the Winamac area.
Through their collaboration, they will be building ramps in the community to provide greater accessibility to ensure everyone is able to access their own homes safely and freely.
Community Foundation of Pulaski County has awarded SAWS with an $11,500 grant designated to serve five to six families with new, ADA-compliant custom ramps. Volunteers from BraunAbility are on board to help SAWS design and assemble each ramp at a client’s home.
