⭐️⭐️ Success Story ⭐️⭐️
Disability Resource Center was able to purchase materials for a ramp for a disabled consumer who didn't have access to community involvement. The funds for these materials were given to DRC by community grants from local businesses.
With the help of 516 Project Ministry and their hard work in building the ramp, we gave this consumer access to greater independence! We are so happy to partner with wonderful community agencies like 516 Project Ministry who dedicate their time and hard work to making sure no one in the community is left behind. We look forward to working with them again on other ramp builds, coming soon! (Photos used with permission)
