Loma Linda University Health PossAbilities is hosting a wheelchair collection drive benefiting Joni and Friends Wheels for the World on Friday, Sept. 16.
Any new or used non-electric wheelchairs, canes or walkers may be dropped off that Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the PossAbilities office, 25455 Barton Rd., Suite 109A, Loma Linda.
Electric wheelchairs cannot be accepted due to the cost of transportation. Joni and Friends Wheels for the World will provide a tax donation receipt if requested.
PossAbilities was a contributor in helping Wheels for the World Inland Empire Chapter to celebrate collection of its 3,000th wheelchair in December 2015.
PossAbilities is a free, nonprofit, community outreach program to provide individuals of all ages with permanent physical disabilities support and resources to stay active and healthy in life.

Joni and Friends Wheels for the World, as part of its Christian ministry, provides free wheelchairs to children and adults affected by disability worldwide. The wheelchairs are collected nationwide and restored by inmates at correctional facilities across the country to like-new condition.
