The Joni and Friends, Wheels for the World, Inland Empire team will hold their annual wheelchair drive on Saturday, April 18, at the Redlands First Baptist Church, and Monday through Friday, April 13 through 17, at the Colton Seventh Day Adventist Church. As you are doing your spring cleaning, have you found a wheelchair or mobility equipment that you are no longer using? Now is the time to donate it to Joni and Friends and the wheelchairs and other items collected will be cleaned, refurbished and distributed free to children and adults with disabilities worldwide.
