How We Do It
|
Rainbow Freedom Carts are assembled, painted, and shipped by volunteers at the Trinity Project workshop in North Spokane.
Many businesses in the Northwest have come along side to contribute materials and logistics in support of the Trinity Project.

The "E" Board Story
|
There is a little curve in the side boards under the seat of the Freedom Cart that wasn't always there. A few years ago, the design of the seat changed, and it was not possible to slide a pair of crutches underneath anymore. Many of those who use our carts are on crutches and lost a convenient place to carry them. Adding a notch in these boards restored the space for crutches, which can conveniently be slid underneath the seat for carrying thanks to the creativity and diligence of our volunteer woodworkers!
