Volunteer: Help Build a Ramp and Change a Life

Come make a real difference in the life of a fellow Panhandle area resident! We build wheelchair ramps for people that need here in the Amarillo and the Panhandle area at no cost to them. We provide tools (you can bring your own if you prefer) and guide all skill levels through the construction of the ramp. Usually requires 3-4 hours and the result is truly life-changing for the resident as they have the freedom to get out of their home on their own once again. Come help out! Individuals and groups are welcome! Questions? Just ask.

Our volunteers say it's the most satisfying work 
they have ever done; liberating people imprisoned 
in their homes, unable to get out because of 
the front steps that most take for granted.

The Texas Ramp Project - Panhandle area works with the City of Amarillo, social-services organizations, government agencies, and healthcare services to identify clients who need a ramp. We are 100% volunteer staffed, relying on individual donations and our corporate partners to provide the funding, building materials, and facilities for our work. 

Check out or Facebook Page - www.facebook.com/trpamarillo to see what we do and you can be a part of.
