Wheels for the World


A real estate agent and corporate relocation specialist with Keller Williams in Westlake Village, California, Jim Cicchese was named a top producing agent at his former position at Re/Max Olson and Associates. Outside of his professional life, Jim Cicchese enjoys volunteering and supporting his local church, Calvary Community Church.

Calvary Community Church is a Christian worship center and organization located in Westlake, California. A large church, Calvary Community sponsors an array of support programs for its members and its local community, as well as a variety of fundraising and charity events for volunteers. These include counseling sessions, health and wellness programs, financial assistance, marriage resources, Bible studies, and more. 

Additionally, Calvary Community Church hosts international aid efforts through its mission trips. These mission trips take place in a variety of places throughout the world and largely focus on volunteering at local community centers within these places to help aid and assist those in need. 

Calvary Community Church also joins in an ongoing project called Wheels for the World, a disability-centered program designed to provide wheelchairs to children across the globe. While the program functions in part within the United States to repurpose and update wheelchairs, Wheels for the World also requires team members to travel to other countries to distribute the wheelchairs, fit them to the recipients, and teach the children how to use and maintain them.
