The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, through its Rampathon program, is accepting applications for free ramps for families struggling with mobility within their home or from nonprofit organizations whose clients or residents struggle with mobility.<\/p>\n
Each year since 1993, MBA members and community volunteers head to home sites throughout King and Snohomish counties to build ramps during the month of May, for free, because our neighbors in need deserve the same freedoms we have.<\/p>\n
The association helps local veterans, children in need and elderly community members become more mobile and independent. Applications to be considered for a free wheelchair ramp are available in January and February of each year.<\/p>\n
Although Rampathon doesn’t happen until May, organizers are accepting applications from families and organizations in King and Snohomish counties through March 1.<\/p>\n
