What is "Drive to Mobility?"
Respite Care provides kids with the opportunity to attend camps and field trips out in our community. Right now, Respite only has one wheelchair accessible van to transport our children. Our 2000 GMC has been a valued part of Respite Care, but is getting older and has limited capacity. This makes it difficult for our staff to plan field trips that are inclusive to our kids of all abilities. A new van would more than double our capacity to take more kids on these fun trips. The goal of "Drive to Mobility" is to raise $100,000 to purchase Respite Care a second van which will allow us to provide more opportunities to the children we serve!
How will the new van help?

History of the "Brown Van"
In 1999 Respite Care was donated our very first wheelchair accessible van. The lovingly named "Brown Van" has taken many kids on field trips throughout the community for the past 24 years.
