At Chinook Enterprises, accessibility opens doors…to opportunity, inclusion, and community. This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting our supporters to help us raise $10,000 to install additional automatic door openers throughout our facility.
It might sound like a small change, but for someone navigating mobility challenges, carrying deliveries, or juggling full hands, an automatic door opener can make all the difference between independence and frustration.
These upgrades are simple, practical, and life-changing. They’re the kind of improvements that turn everyday tasks into moments of dignity and ease.
Imagine Starting Your Day with an Obstacle Course
For many of us, walking through a doorway barely registers as a thought. But for others, that same moment can feel like running a mini obstacle course.
Maybe you’re carrying coffee in one hand, paperwork in the other, and trying to nudge open a heavy door with your elbow. Now imagine doing that every single day, while using a wheelchair, walker, or cane.
Accessibility shouldn’t feel like a workout. Yet for some of the people we serve and employ, it does.
Automatic door openers remove that invisible hurdle. With a simple touch of a button, they turn an obstacle into an open path; one that says, you belong here!
Why This Matters
Every time we add an automatic door opener, we do more than improve convenience. We create independence. We promote dignity. We show that accessibility is not an afterthought, but a core part of who we are.
When we make it easier for someone to open a door, we’re also opening doors to jobs, connection, and community participation. These upgrades support employees, customers, and visitors alike — because accessibility benefits everyone.
This project also reflects Chinook’s broader mission: to support full participation in community life for people with disabilities and other barriers. Accessibility isn’t just a feature of inclusion; it’s the foundation of it.
How You Can Help
This Giving Tuesday, we’re aiming to raise $10,000 to install additional automatic door openers in key areas throughout our building.
Your gift will directly help make Chinook Enterprises more accessible for everyone who comes through our doors: employees, customers, visitors, and community partners alike.
Whether you give $10 or $100, every donation helps clear another hurdle and bring us closer to a truly inclusive environment.
Together, We Can Clear the Way
At Chinook, we believe accessibility opens more than just doors, it opens possibilities.
With your support this Giving Tuesday, we can transform everyday obstacles into open opportunities and make sure everyone who walks through our doors feels welcomed, respected, and included.
Thank you for helping us clear the way to a more inclusive community!
