On March 3, 2011, a wheelchair-bound resident received a ramp courtesy of some North Little Rock firefighters and the Modern Woodmen of America. The resident, whose health has declined over several months, came to the attention of  David Matchett , who initiated the effort to build the ramp which now allows the resident easier mobility.

Local 35 thanks the Modern Woodmen of America for providing about $600.00 in lumber and hardware for the project. The following Local 35 members provided manpower: Adam Moreno, who provided plans to build the ramp and purchased the needed materials, David Matchett ,  Scott Chassells,  Alan Tetkoskie ; and Patrick Scanlon, an ER Nurse who works at McClellan VA. (In addition to manpower, the Union provided some additional materials necessary to complete the project, amounting to $42.00.)
