State Assemblyman Gary Finch secured $4,000 to fund a new Assembly Mobility Program for Options for Independence.
Using member item funding Finch was able to purchase wheelchairs for Options' loan closet.
“It's going to help our consumers greatly. The demand for wheelchairs has always succeeded supply,” said Options for Independence executive director Guy Cosentino.
The funds paid for four standard wheelchairs, two pediatric wheelchairs, two extra-wide wheelchairs, three portable folding ramps and one threshold ramp.
The items are now available to be loaned to anyone in the community at no cost to them.
