GooD DeeDs of Oak Ridge is a small charity (501(c)3) devoted to building wheelchair ramps for people who need them but cannot afford them. Since March 2007 we have completed nearly 20 wheelchair ramps and 1 hand rail thanks to the support of volunteers and donors.

We can build wheel chair ramps; modify doorways to allow free passage of wheel chairs, and/or install of hand rails in stairwells, hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms.

GooD DeeDs typically spends 1 to 4 days in each client’s home; utilizing donated material/funds to make needed modifications which will make the client’s home safer and more accessible. GooD DeeDs also solicits volunteers to donate their time and efforts in support of the client.
