Arizona State Veteran Home-Phoenix is seeking community support to raise $150,000 for two new wheelchair-accessible vehicles for its residents.
The Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services announced that the two vehicles will replace the home’s current vehicles.
“It will allow the residents to have a more dependable and reliable means of transportation as our two current vehicles have aged past their useful life expectancy,” ASVH-Phoenix Administrator Jeffery Cook shared in a press release.
The organization is looking to purchase a new passenger bus, similar to an airport shuttle van, that is capable of accommodating up to five veterans in wheelchairs and an additional six veterans to safely transport residents to community events. The home would also like to purchase a smaller van that can accommodate up to two wheelchairs to transport residents to medical appointments.
“We are excited about getting these new vehicles so we can continue to go on outings and ensure that our veterans are safe and enjoy the experience,” ASVH-Phoenix Recreational Therapist Brittany Tashner stated.
Arizona State Veteran Home-Phoenix is located at 4141 S. Herrera Way.
