Most communities have a "Christmas in April" operation going on, and
this is the perfect timing to get on their list of projects.

Check with your local office on Volunteerism, commonly called the
Volunteer Center, and see if they have any business contacts. - DO NOT
EXPECT a ramp dealer to give it away - big waste of time!. Instead go
around the back door, ie builders, contractors, etc. how about the local
carpenter union???

Religion: example Catholics with the Knights of Columbus
Local organizations: VFW, Amer. Legion, Rotary, Kiwanis, Jaycees, Lions,
etc.

Check back if you need more ideas
