Building More Than Access
Every ramp we build is a lifeline — restoring dignity, freedom, and connection.
Mobility shouldn’t be a barrier to safety and well-being. That’s why the Ramp It Up program exists — to provide wheelchair ramps for Veterans, Seniors, and individuals with disabilities who need safe, accessible entry to their homes. We are here to bridge the gap — one build at a time.





Why
Ramps Matter
Imagine being unable to enter or exit your home safely. For many, this is a daily reality. In addition, our 1st responders are put at risk if they cannot enter the home safely. Through community donations and volunteer efforts, we're changing that — one ramp at a time.
Real Stories, Real Impact
To date we have built or installed 60+ ramps for Veterans, Seniors and Disabled (to include children). Thanks to community support, we are able to continue to build ramps and help give access for those in need.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Your contribution goes a long way.

Your generosity makes mobility possible.
Every dollar helps us purchase lumber, tools, and materials for ramps — and covers critical labor costs that allow our licensed contractor and volunteer crews to build safely and efficiently. No gift is too small when the impact is life-changing. Whether it’s a one-time donation or ongoing support, you’re helping someone regain access to their home, their community, and their independence.

Got heart? Bring your hands.
We’re always looking for volunteers — experience is helpful, but not required. Whether you're drilling in deck boards, staining ramps, putting down non-slip strips, or delivering lunch to the crew - there’s a place for you here. Teams are made up of neighbors helping neighbors, and your time truly makes a difference. Individuals, teams, and groups welcome!

Let’s talk ramps. We build them with care — and we build them to last.
Our current ramp builds include two types:
Wooden Ramps – Custom-designed on-site, made with pressure-treated lumber, perfect for homes with specific entryway needs.
Aluminum Ramps – Modular and fast to install. Ideal for transitions and smaller sized ramps.
We work to assess each situation and choose the most effective type based on site needs, safety, and budget. All ramps meet ADA safety standards whenever possible.

Put your name behind the build.
Sponsorships fuel our mission — and give your business or organization a front-row seat to the impact you’re helping make. From individual ramp builds to full project underwriting, we offer tiered sponsorship packages with recognition on-site, online, and at special events. Help us build more ramps and more awareness, together.
Request A RAMP
Helping those with disabilities, Veterans or the elderly who do not have insurance or qualify for another ramp build project. Please note we are self-funded, and if you are willing to let us do a news story on your ramp need that would help us build ramps for you along with countless others who are stuck in their homes. We need to get more community support to help everyone in need (there are many throughout the state). Any ramp recipient is allowed to get a sponsor for their ramp to help offset our costs or to pay it forward.
