Such a wonderful organization! My daughter recently broke her leg (in 3 places) and is in a wheelchair. On Monday’s and Wednesday’s they currently transport students to the Ephrata Library for an after school program in their handicap accessible van. They offered to transport my daughter on the other days. This is just such a relief for me as this past month has been very stressful and it’s even more difficult doing it as a single mother. I commend them for stepping up and helping us the way they are!! They definitely help out the community – in more ways than you know!
