Utica Center for Development INC.

The Utica Center for Development is proud to provide transportation for veterans with disabilities, including those traveling to and from VA appointments. Our wheelchair-accessible bus is a vital resource for many in our community but right now, it’s in need of an air conditioning repair that our nonprofit has been unable to secure at an affordable cost.

They are asking their community for help. If you know of a qualified mechanic, repair shop, or business that may be willing to assist with repairing the A/C on our 2011 Chevrolet Express wheelchair-accessible bus, please let us know.
Every share, recommendation, and connection helps us continue providing safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation to the veterans who depend on this service.

To learn more or recommend a repair resource, please contact Dara at 315-765-0975, ext. 224.

Thank you for supporting our veterans and helping us spread the word. ❤️🤍💙
