A big thank you to all the volunteers, both onsite and behind the scene in the certification, design and construction of each project.

A Great Thank You Note!

This is a note we received from the recipient of the last ramp we built in Marathon City. It's always great to hear from the recipients.

Ramp Up provides a needed service for those living in Marathon County who otherwise would have to move out of their homes and seek more easily accessible housing to live in, instead of being able to remain in their own homes!!

Great job volunteers---we are truly appreciated!
