How’s your spring cleaning going?

With tulips in full bloom, it’s time to spring clean! Rather than throwing out any gently-used mobility equipment gathering dust in your basement, bring it to our contact-less mobility drive.

Did you know April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month?

Without the time, dedication, and support from volunteers, Alternatives in Motion could not continue to advance its’ mission and provide services to a multitude of clients in West Michigan. Although Alternatives in Motion is not currently open, we still have volunteers working tirelessly to ensure we can service the growing list of clients requesting mobility equipment once we open again. Our mission is not on hold.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS

Alternatives in Motion Turns 27 Today!

We’re very excited to celebrate our 27th anniversary today! We know that these are unprecedented times and many of us feel weighed down by negativity. To battle this, we decided to highlight 27 positive things we’re looking forward to in 2020.

CELEBRATE WITH US

Now is the ideal time to do some spring cleaning in your home! Although Alternatives in Motion is not accepting donations currently, hold onto your mobility equipment and we will collect it once we open again. Contact coleen@aimgr.org for more information.

Looking for something to do during the stay home order? Our committees are still meeting virtually and we’re looking for new participants! Contact coleen@aimg.org if you’re interested.

The Wheel Run is Going Virtual

Posted on April 1, 2020

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Dear Alternatives in Motion Supporter,

Earlier this month we announced that the Wheel Run 5K was going to be postponed. After much consideration, we have decided to move the Wheel Run 5K to a virtual race on Saturday, July 11! While the race is not being held in person, we hope to make your experience just as fun and inspirational.

Because you have already purchased a ticket for the Wheel Run 5K, you have access to the virtual race. Engage with other supporters and runners in our Facebook group (the password to enter is WheelRun2020.) Check in to the group leading up to and on the day of the race for your chance to win some prizes from our sponsors!

We would also like to offer you a complimentary ticket to either AIM’s Fowling Fundraiser on October 28th OR a complimentary ticket to next year’s Wheel Run 5K. Please contact coleen@aimgr.org with your preference.

Thank you for your continued support!

We Will Move People Forward Again

Posted on March 20, 2020

Dear Alternatives in Motion Supporter,

When shrouded by negativity, fear and anxiety, it is hard to see the silver lining. We’re deeply saddened to inform you that Alternatives in Motion is temporarily closing their doors. We feel as though this is our duty to help stop the spread of COVID-19. While we don’t know exactly when we will be able to provide mobility equipment to those in need again, there a few shining moments that have brought a smile to our face and we hope will bring a smile to yours:

We served a record-setting number of clients thus far. Over 100 clients were provided with refurbished mobility equipment.
We partnered with the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum and donated four pediatric wheelchairs to be used by guests.
We hosted several pop-ups throughout the community to spread the word about AIM and provide services to those most affected.

We know we will move people forward again in the near future.

From our new home office,
The Alternatives in Motion Team

A Letter from our Executive Director

Posted on March 18, 2020

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Dear Alternatives in Motion Supporter,

At Alternatives in Motion we enhance independence through access to mobility equipment every day. During this unprecedented time, we’re taking every precaution to make sure our employees, clients, volunteers and staff are safe. We understand, more than ever, how it feels to be physically restricted and can only imagine what our clients are going through. It is vital for our clients to have the freedom to seek medical help right now. Our program focuses not just on the piece of equipment but the critical maintenance of the equipment by our trained staff.

Please feel free to reach out if you or someone you know needs support. We can be reached by phone at 616.493.2620 or by email at coleen@aimgr.org. I would like to thank everyone for their dedication and support, especially our Board of Directors, staff and volunteers.

Sincerely,
Coleen Davis – Executive Director
