St. Mark’s
Problem: Women who are victims of domestic violence are often financially and geographically tied to the perpetrator of the violence. In order to be personally and financially independent they must secure employment. In a rural area this is often impossible without reliable transportation.
Purpose: To improve the quality of life for victims of domestic violence, by providing them with reliable transportation that will foster an independent life style free of the influences of the perpetrator of the violence.
Players: St. Mark’s
Procedure: In an
effort to create an atmosphere of recovery and independence for women who are
or have been the victim of domestic violence, St. Mark’s Church Council
(through the Outreach Ministry Team) has committed $1000 to help fund the Car
Care Program. This program will secure
reliable transportation for our target population by seeking donations of
automobiles from the congregation and the general public. Upon receipt, Thayer
Ford Nissan will inspect the donated automobile for drivability and
reparability. If the car is repairable, we will contract for the repairs. Upon completion of the repairs the car will
be donated to a worthy individual. The individual recipients will be
identified, screened and recommended by the First Step Shelter –
If a donated auto is not deemed repairable or if repairs are cost prohibitive, it will be sold through the auto auction and the proceeds returned to the program. We will secure, repair, and donate as many cars as possible. The program will end when we run out of money. The program can only continue through your continued support.
All Donations are Tax Deductible
