Longview Chapter of AMBUCS

We meet every Thursday noon at Johnny Cace's where we enjoy fellowship, friendship, and a wide
variety of speakers who inform and entertain us with diverse topics from local color to national politics.
The Longview chapter of AMBUCS serves many needs in our community.  Our mission is to create mobility & independence for people with disabilities.  Since our charter in 1984 we have found many ways to fulfill our mission. 

* Our club originated and developed a therapy tricycle that provides mobility and therapy at the same time  for people with many different kinds of disability.  Amtrykes are now manufactured in several countries and donated by AMBUC chapters throughout the USA and world wide.  Over 10,000 amtrykes have been 
produced and distributed to grateful recipients.

Local Community Projects: 

* Build wheelchair ramps each year for local people in need. 

* Provide college scholarships for local Therapy students .

* Furnish  motorized and standard wheelchairs, hospital beds, chair lifts, Accessible vehicles, and provide a wide array of services to thousands of East Texans with disabilities.
