GOAT is running another free workshop in San Francisco, at the Independent Living
Resource Center SF! In honor of Valentine’s Day we are calling it “Love Your Ride”. At this event we will test out our pilot Fix-It-Kits, which are small pouches of tools and materials, along with a pocket sized zine.
The zine has a workbook page to record useful information about your mobility device, and then goes through inspection, cleaning, checking vulnerable points like all bolts, screws, wheels, folding parts, and attachments. Collecting that info will help us construct a custom kit, with replacement bolts, tools for tightening bolts and screws, and so on.
Free workshop to learn maintenance for your mobility gear
Wheelchairs, powerchairs, scooters, walkers, rollators, etc.
Time: Saturday, Feb. 22, 2:00pm – 4:00pm
Location: ILRCSF, 825 Howard Street – San Francisco
FREE TOOLKIT AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL
We will work with you to make a custom maintenance and emergency repair kit!
You will get to take home a small, portable bag with tools and materials customized for you.
There is also a workbook to fill out with information about your mobility device or devices.
We will look for service manuals and other information to give you as well!
Please register by emailing Brianna@ilrcsf.org with your name, phone number, and any particular access needs you have. Or you can call or text Vincent @ 415-609-2555 if you prefer that to email. We’d love to see you there!
