Deadline for wheelchair ramp program is March 1

The Broome County Council of Churches is accepting applications until March 1 for its wheelchair ramp program.

After applications are received, it will take several weeks to evaluate the need for the free ramps, which will be built by youth groups during the summer. Over the past three summers, about 230 youths built 38 ramps through the council’s youth mentoring initiative.

For an application, call Joanne Kays at (607) 724-9130 ext. 304 or visit www.broomecouncil.net.
