The ESVA Housing Mission and the Pungoteague Ruritan Club combined forces to install an aluminum wheelchair ramp for Mary Ann Mosser of Smith’s Beach near Eastville.

The ramp was purchased by the ESVA Housing Mission with funds provided by David Landsberger. The Ruritan Club has been installing wheelchair ramps as one of its key service projects for over 25 years.

Three ESVA Housing Mission team members joined them on this project.
