Wheelchair Ramp Ministry Gains Non-Profit Status

Indianapolis, IN, October 20, 2012,

Servants at Work, Inc., (SAWs) has been granted 501(c)(3)

tax-exempt status expanding its funding opportunities to meet the growing demand for its

services. SAWs constructs high quality, removable and reusable wooden wheelchair ramps for

individuals who cannot otherwise afford to free themselves from the imprisonment of their own

homes. The ramps provide persons with disabilities and people with conditions of aging access to

their world and allow them to remain in their communities. Since its founding in 2008, SAWs has

constructed over 300 ramps in central Indiana and neighboring communities. However, it is

estimated more than 90,000 people in Indiana are living with a disability that limits their ability to

leave their homes. More information and volunteer opportunities can be found at

www.sawsramps.org

.

SAWs is an ecumenical ministry that welcomes and encompasses many churches,

denominations, faiths and organizations. Volunteers come from all walks of life and every

vocation imaginable. Men and women alike help to provide freedom to those who would

otherwise be trapped by everyday obstacles and financial circumstances.

SAWs began as an outreach of

Second Presbyterian Church and is primarily funded by Second

Presbyterian and

St. Luke's United Methodist Churches of Indianapolis. Other funding comes

from various sponsors from across the state of Indiana and nationally, as well as individual

donations of all amounts including in-kind contributions. To make a donation to SAWs, visit
