WHEELCHAIR DRIVE AT CALVARY
Wheelchairs that are no longer in use can be donated October 18-October 24 at Calvary Baptist Church (320 Lincoln Street) in Rhinelander. In partnership with Wheels for the World, a division of Joni and Friends Ministries, used wheelchairs are collected locally and restored to like-new condition at wheelchair rehab centers, located in prisons across the United States. These wheelchairs are shipped overseas and given at no cost to people with disabilities in developing nations.
According to Pastor Rod Ankrom, "A person with limited mobility is often excluded from life in their community because they have no way of getting around. But the gift of a wheelchair literally lifts someone from out of the dirt to a seat of dignity and opportunity. Wheels for the World provides life-changing mobility to people impacted by disability around the world."
The following items will be accepted: manual wheelchairs (all types and sizes); aluminum walkers, crutches and canes; roll-a-tors; and wheelchair parts (nothing wooden or electric). Drop-off hours at the church will be Tuesday, Oct. 20-Oct. 23, 9 am-2 pm; Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10 am-noon. Wheelchairs can also be dropped off by appointment by calling 715-362-4792.
