Change is Good. Website Upgrades.

Our website has been given an updated, refreshed look. Including fresh formatting, photos, client stories, and easier-to-navigate menu choices.  It will continue to be a work in progress, as we update the volunteer and donor pages next. We hope you will take a look!

Why I Support SAWs

By Rob French

I wanted to share just a few of the reasons why SAW’s holds and will always hold a special place in my heart.  First and foremost SAW’s is a God centered organization.  All throughout the Bible we're told to care for the less fortunate. Jesus’ teachings in particular tell us that we should not only be aware of but to actively reach out and help those in need; SAW’s does just that. They do this by not only providing ramps for those in need of help with regard to accessibility but also by providing opportunities for volunteers to experience firsthand the joy of helping others.

What's Happening in the Hubs

Collaboration between SAWs St. Joseph County and SAWs Lake County

Recently, the SAWs St. Joseph team installed a ramp for thirteen-year-old Giuliana, who suffered from a spinal cord injury when her family’s vehicle was hit head-on by a drunk driver and is now confined to a wheelchair. Giuliana’s mother struggled to get her in and out of the home even when using the front door. SAWs St. Joseph County and Lake County teams worked together to free Giuliana from her home.

Volunteer Spotlight: Chuck Rushmore

 Our SAWs volunteers are the most committed, energetic, wonderful people that can be imagined.  We would love to do a piece on every one of them.  Unfortunately, our space and budget are limited.  So, we plan to highlight a volunteer in each newsletter to share with everyone the kind of individuals who bless our mission.
