Clean Team Workforce Initiative Restores Mobility and Dignity
(ALLENTOWN, PA) – The Allentown Rescue Mission proudly announces the launch of its newest
program, Wheelchairs to the Rescue. Men employed by the Allentown Rescue Mission’s Clean Team
Workforce operate the Wheelchairs to the Rescue program. They acquire wheelchairs, walkers, and
crutches through property and estate cleanouts, as well as public donations, and donate them to Joni
and Friends for distribution to people impacted by disability. This initiative not only benefits disabled
people worldwide; it provides the men on the Clean Team Workforce an opportunity to give back to
others and keeps mobility equipment out of landfills.
Joni and Friends is a charity dedicated to addressing the needs of children and adults affected by
disability. Nearly one billion people worldwide live with a disability and many live in poverty and pain
and experience social isolation. By donating wheelchairs or other mobility devices, Joni and Friends
provides those suffering with the opportunity to navigate life more easily and with dignity.
Carol Nolan, a local Joni and Friends volunteer, said, “Through the Joni and Friends program Wheels for
the World, over 150,000 wheelchairs have been delivered to people in 28 countries. Donations, like the
ones from the Allentown Rescue Mission, will allow them to continue to reach people who have lost
hope and offer them a better life.”
The Allentown Rescue Mission accepts donations of manual wheelchairs of all sizes, aluminum walkers,
and aluminum crutches. Donations can be dropped off at its location, 355 Hamilton Street, Allentown.
