100 Miles of Freedom - The Texas Ramp Project



The Texas Ramp Project is celebrating construction of its 100^th mile of free wheelchair ramps for low-income people with disabilities. In November and December, local volunteer teams across the state will build at least one ramp as part of this milestone event, which we are calling “100 Miles of Freedom.” Over the years our volunteers have built nearly 20,000 ramps, enough to stretch from Dallas to Waco. We are incredibly grateful for our thousands of volunteers and donors. We could not have done this without you.
