Because independence should never depend on income.

We not only collect but also provide new wheelchairs — refurbishing and distributing them free of charge to elderly residents, disabled veterans, children with mobility challenges, and families struggling to make ends meet across Morris County.

How Mettle Up Works
Someone Gives
Community members, healthcare facilities, and donors contribute gently used or new wheelchairs — or make a financial gift that helps us source the right equipment.
We Assess & Match
Our compassionate team reviews each request with care and dignity, matching every recipient with the right wheelchair for a proper, comfortable fit.
We Deliver with Care
We deliver directly to the recipient's home across Morris County — at no cost, with hands-on assistance and follow-up support.
I hadn't left my apartment in three months. The day Mettle Up brought me my wheelchair, I went outside for the first time and cried. I felt human again.
