Loma Linda University Health PossAbilities is hosting a wheelchair and walker collection drive for Joni and Friends Wheels for the World. Drop off any new or used non-electric wheelchairs, canes or walkers between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19, west of the PossAbilities office at, 25455 Barton Rd., Suite 109A, Loma Linda, Calif. 92354. Electric wheelchairs cannot be accepted due to the cost of transportation. A tax donation receipt will be provided by Joni and Friends Wheels for the World. Loma Linda University Health PossAbilities is a non-profit outreach program of Loma Linda University Medical Center East Campus. The program seeks to provide for the physical, social and emotional needs of the people who are physically challenged.

The wheelchairs are collected nationwide and restored by inmates at correctional facilities across the country to like-new condition.
