Make a Tangible Impact

Volunteer with Ability1st

Last year, the incredible generosity of our volunteers empowered Ability1st to create transformative changes in the lives of individuals with disabilities. Through the collective contribution of over 10,000 volunteer hours – the equivalent of five full-time employees – we were able to construct ramps, install modules, build half-steps, and make essential repairs. Each volunteer hour brings us closer to a world where everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, has the independence and support they deserve.

Why Volunteer with Us?

Volunteering at Ability1st isn’t just about donating your time; it’s about making a profound difference in someone’s life. It’s about bringing warmth, safety, and accessibility to the homes and lives of those facing mobility challenges.
