About FL Cares

Tallahassee  Parrot Head Club (TPHC) began routinely helping "FL Cares" build ramps  and half-steps to help seniors and mobility impaired individuals. FL  Cares is a registered 501(C)(3) and built 143 access projects in 2021.  

Eric, the project coordinator, is well known and very respected for his  expertise, teaching ability and focus on safety. Eric does builds  (access construction projects) almost every Saturday and often Sunday,  plus when he can get volunteers occasionally during the week. Eric is  very safety minded and great at instructing newbies in how to help with  these fun projects. No experience is necessary, so If you may be  interested in helping occasionally, please complete the following brief  survey: TPHC-Ramp Construction Volunteers. NOTE: completing the survey doesn't obligate you to anything, it just helps us streamline who we contact. 

For  those of you planning to attend a build, most projects start around 8  a.m. and typically last 4-6 hours, but specific details and directions  are provided for each event. FL Cares has enough tools to complete the  project, but individual volunteers should bring water and a snack,  and if possible personal gloves and eye protection (sunglasses work  fine). If available, bringing a hammer, speed square, tape measure and  carpenters' pencil can help expedite the project.  Other items such as  sawhorses, a miter saw, circle saw, jig saw, or sander can sometimes  help, but are only needed when requested.

Bob  Wattendorf (Wattendorf@Yahoo.com) and Eddie Gines chair this activity for TPHC, if you have any questions.
