The Rotary Club of Pleasanton's Wheelchair Program provides wheelchairs to people needing a wheelchair but unable to afford one. Since the Club first became involved in 2003, we have been able to deliver the gift of a wheelchair to more than 6000 recipients. To date the focus has been on needs in Mexico, Central and South America and the Wheelchair Program has become the Club's largest and longest running International Service initiative.
 
Through various fund raising endeavors including partnering with the Wheelchair Foundation and other Rotary Clubs, focused fund raising events, and individual contributions, the Club has been able to maintain the goal of delivering at least one container of 280 chairs per year.
