EMPORIUM, Pa (WJAC) — "Two Cameron County churches teamed up with the Kane District Ramp Ministry, in Warren County, to build a wooden handicap ramp for a family in Emporium.
Reverend Joe Short, with the Emporium First Methodist Church, says he got a call about a family that needed a handicap ramp built on their future home.
He teamed with volunteers from the Saint Mark's Roman Catholic Church to help them out.
The Kane District Ramp Ministry was able to get the lumber for the project, despite it being in a shortage. Reverend Short says the family was in awe when they saw the ramp coming to fruition.
"Our faith tells us that we should be about the needs of others. When it hits personal and hits home with us, it really helps us appreciate how someone else may feel or what their needs are. And that's when faith, God, really takes over and opens up doors for us to be able to help someone in need."
The volunteers say projects like this are uplifting and help people get past all the negativity that is in our world today."
