Rebuilding Together Henry County is issuing a shout out to local residents asking them to roll up their sleeves and join in a hands-on volunteer opportunity designed to educate and empower
community members. On Saturday, June 28 at 8 a.m., the organization will host an Informational Ramp Build at 101 N. Church Street in Atkinson.

This event is open to both new and returning volunteers interested in learning the fundamentals of building wheelchair-accessible ramps. Experienced builders or simply volunteers looking to make a difference are welcome and no prior construction experience is required.

“This is a great way to get involved with our mission of making homes safer and more accessible for our elderly and disabled neighbors,” said Sarah Snyder, executive director of Rebuilding Together Henry County. “We’ll provide everything you need—from training and materials to donuts and coffee.”

Participants will:

● Gain insight into how the ramp program works
● Learn hands-on building techniques from seasoned volunteers
● Assist in constructing part of a ramp on-site
● Connect with other community-minded individuals

Most tools and supplies will be provided; but bring handheld drills and impact drivers if you have them. The event is also a valuable chance for volunteers to see the real-world impact of their contributions in building independence and accessibility for those in need.

For more information or to RSVP, volunteers are encouraged to email ssnyder@rebuildingtogether-hc.org or rthcpres@gmail.com.

Rebuilding Together Henry County has been a vital part of the community for over 30 years, improving hundreds of lives through critical home repairs and accessibility modifications. The June 28 event is just one more way the nonprofit continues to build stronger, safer communities—one ramp at a time.
