We’ve made ramps for people that have had a lot of difficulty getting out of a house. Now, they can either use a walker or wheelchair can get in and out very easily. I think it makes a big difference in their life and their quality of life.

Handy Helpers program is a dedicated group of volunteers that enhance the lives of local seniors by building handicap ramps and installing hand rails and grab bars to allow seniors freedom of movement both inside and outside of their homes.
This event will have you riding, dancing, and laughing the day away. We will have a mapped escorted route for our riders, games for the family, live entertainment, and food.
Each year we help about 30 seniors with the freedom of movement!
