Volunteers are needed in greater Richmond and the Tri-Cities areas to help build wheelchair ramps and make home safety repairs and accessibility modifications to the homes of our low-income, elderly and disabled neighbors.  Through their work, Renew Crew volunteers help to provide safe, accessible and affordable housing so the residents can live independently in their own homes for as long as they wish. The need is great.  There are over 1,000 households on the Renew Crew waiting list, and more than 200 of them are waiting for a wheelchair ramp.
