We are reaching out to the community for your support in a rewarding initiative to improve accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges. The Kane Regional Ramp Ministry as a cooperative ministry of many churches in 7 counties of Pennsylvania has been building ramps for (12 years).  We never charge anything for materials or labor in building ramps for those in need and once a ramp is no longer needed we can reclaim the ramp and reuse the materials. 

Our goal is to build handicap ramps for residents who need safe and convenient access to their homes in these counties.  However, because we have such a high demand for ramps each year, and most of our volunteers are retired older folks who while willing to volunteer time and resources, travel time is a major factor, and therefore our reach into Potter and McKean Counties is somewhat limited.  With volunteer ramp crews working out of the Youngsville/Warren and Emporium areas, we are spread very thin and need your help.

Many individuals in our community face daily obstacles due to limited mobility. Sometimes disabilities are temporary and sometimes permanent, but accessibility is necessary either way.  By volunteering your time and skills, you can make a meaningful difference in their lives and help foster independence and dignity.

Volunteer opportunities and why you matter.

We are seeking individuals who want to help make a difference in our communities to be part of our ramp crews and possibly help us to start additional crews in Potter and McKean Counties.  No prior experience required; guidance and tools are provided. 

Ramp projects for 2026 will be scheduled once the weather allows us to do ramp builds throughout this coming spring, summer and fall as needed. 

How you can get involved:

Please contact us at 814-837-6115  or email info@kaneregionalramps.org to sign up or learn more go to www.kaneregionalramps.org . Together, we can make accessibility available to our brothers and sisters in need.  If you aren’t able to help on a crew, you can also help by making donations to the Kane Regional Ramp Ministry, 18 2^nd. Street, Youngsville, PA 16371 or online at www.kaneregionalramps.org/give .

Thank you for considering this opportunity to serve and make a lasting impact!
