Community Paint Day Announced!

We are very sorry for this announcement: Due to the heavy rain, we moved the Community Paint Day to Saturday May 25th at 10am. 

Join us to paint our ramps on April 20th at 10am at Ditmars Playground!  We would love your help in making make our neighborhood more accessible and inclusive. 

Rain date will be 4/21 at 10am. 

Look for our ramps at participating businesses around the neighborhood soon!

*Our Community Ramp Project, in partnership with
the StopGap Foundation and the Stephen T. Mather Building Arts & Craftsmanship High School, is funded by Citizens Committee for New York City, with donations from Home Depot, LeNoble Lumber, and Behr Paints. We aim to alleviate physical barriers caused by single stepped storefronts in Astoria/LIC by providing participating businesses with a FREE colorful and deployable access ramp to eliminate barriers and create inclusive spaces we can all live, work, and play in. 

Ramps were fabricated!

Ramps were fabricated by students and the teacher of the Mather Arts and Craftsmanship High School!

We were waiting for transporting these fabulous ramps from the wood workshop of the High School to Astoria.

Yuki, one of great supporter of the project, helped us for transporting.
