Charleston Wheelchair Ramp Build: Steinberg Law Firm Volunteers with Operation Home

At Steinberg Law Firm, giving back to our community goes hand in hand with protecting the rights of individuals and families across Charleston and the Lowcountry. On September 18th, our team was humbled to roll up our sleeves and work alongside Operation Home for a special Ramp Build Day, a project that brings access, independence, and safety to neighbors who need it most.

What Is Operation Home’s Wheelchair Ramp Program in Charleston, SC?

Operation Home is a Lowcountry-based nonprofit committed to ensuring that no low-income individual in the Tri-County area is left without safe and essential home repairs. One of their signature programs is the Ramp Build, a home repair and wheelchair ramp installation initiative in which volunteers and sponsors work together to construct wheelchair ramps for individuals who are elderly, disabled, or facing mobility challenges. These ramps are about much more than just lumber and nails; they’re about dignity, freedom, and the ability to come and go safely from one’s own home. By repairing existing homes, Operation Home helps seniors age in place, prevent displacement, and keep families safely housed in the communities they call home.

Our Steinberg Law Firm team was honored to spend the day in the field with Operation Home’s talented coordinators and an enthusiastic group of volunteers. Together, we built a brand-new wheelchair ramp for a local Lowcountry resident, transforming their front steps into a safe entryway. 

Wheelchair ramp builds are hands-on, uplifting, and a reminder of the power of community. For many recipients, these ramps are life-changing, making it possible to access essential medical appointments, visit with friends and family, and simply enjoy the comfort of home.

Upcoming Charleston Charity Event: Operation Home’s Drum It Up! on October 29th

This organization is especially important to attorney Rachel Igdal, who serves on the Board of Directors at Operation Home. Operation Home’s upcoming Drum It Up! event is on October 29th. This fun, music-filled Charleston charity event raises funds and awareness for Operation Home’s critical repair and accessibility projects across the Charleston region. If you’re looking for a way to support your neighbors or simply enjoy a great local event, Drum It Up! is the perfect opportunity.
