Jackson Foundation finances the construction of ramps for people with disabilities

The Jackson Purchase Resource Conservation and Development Foundation has joined with the Reidland Methodist Men to assist people with disabilities.

The Jackson Purchase Resource Conservation and Development Foundation is a nonprofit corporation working with local citizens and community leaders to implement projects that promote healthy communities, healthy environments and sustainable economic growth. The foundation supports the Reidland Methodist Men to build ramps for people with disabilities who are not-eligible for other assistance.

The Methodist Men build each ramp knowing that they need to be usable to both the client and their family (who often bear the burden of pushing their loved one in a wheelchair), as well as medical personnel who sometimes have to transport such patients to and from the hospital. The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels is helping fund the project along with private donations and the Reidland United Methodist Church.
