Helping Give a Lift |
|
When the Outer Banks Community Foundation’s Board of Directors held its quarterly meeting at Kelly’s Restaurant in September, they first had the opportunity to see and experience the result of a recent grant to the North Carolina Handicapped Sportsmen. The grant was used to purchase a Huntmaster hydraulic lift for the NC Wildlife Resources Commission District that includes the Outer Banks. The equipment provides a safe way to lift disabled adults and youth 21 feet in the air so they can enjoy nature and photograph scenery and animals or take part in hunting trips. |
