(Greensboro, NC) – Have you or a family member ever
struggled with accessibility or mobility issues right within your own home?
Join Community Housing Solutions (CHS) downtown at the Greensboro Farmers Curb
Market on Saturday, August 2nd, from 7:00am to noon to learn about
solutions to these challenges.
The CHS construction staff is CAPS certified and will be having
hands on demonstrations on how to build an accessible picnic table, install
grab bars, lever door handles and ADA height toilets. Come swing a hammer and
help us build an accessible picnic table, which will be donated to the
Greensboro Farmers Curb Market. “We are excited to have Community Housing
Solutions as our special guest in order to build awareness of the importance of
accessibility, while also helping us to make our facility more
access-friendly,” stated Lee Mortensen, Executive Director of the Market. CHS
has up fitted a retired US Postal Van equipped with tools and equipment. Look
for the retro van on the Lindsay St. lawn to participate in the demonstration
and for more information.
