Operation Opening Doors

Operation Opening Doors is a national program of AGC Charities, Inc., designed to provide home remodeling services to those suffering from disabilities incurred through service to our country or unforeseen disasters.

Operation Opening Doors leverages the support and expertise of AGC Chapters, members and partners, along with local communities, to help those in need achieve the highest possible level of independence and comfort in their daily lives.

From installing a wheelchair ramp and widening doorways to retrofitting an entire home for handicap accessibility, Operation Opening Doors plays an important role in helping the disabled and their families regain the quality of life they had before.
