Wheelchair Ramp Ministry
His Boro Wheelchair Ramp Builders is a ministry of Statesboro First United Methodist Church.
We have built over 20 ramps for the disabled of our area over the past five years. We request to be reimbursed for the cost of materials, but no
one is refused because of an inability to cover that cost. All labor is provided at no charge, and is a mission that is a blessing to all involved.
Buck Ford is the primary driving force behind this organization, with the help of several other hard workers.

We use an application process to determine the level of need.
Our Mission: To assist those in the Statesboro area who need, but cannot afford, a wheelchair ramp for a family member. His ‘Boro Wheelchair Ramp Builders provides labor to construct the ramp at no charge to the patient or family. In addition, we secure lumber at a discount from a local vendor. The patient/family is responsible for the cost of the materials. If the family cannot afford the materials, we work with the family to help secure funds for the ramp.
