$5,000 goal
The Car Clinic provides vehicle maintenance and repairs for single parents, seniors, veterans, the homeless living in their cars, and others in need (often referred by social services)! The customers only pay for their parts, which we often get at a discount due to generosity of local auto parts stores. While customers wait - they are served breakfast and/or lunch with the Hospitality Team in the house. There's a play room and TV for kids so they have something to do while they're waiting too!
We are currently operating out of our 3 car garage - and were blessed last year by some donors who provided a hydraulic lift for the 3rd stall! Some day we hope to move locations and build out a larger shop so that we no longer have to put people on a 2-3 month waiting list. (If anyone out there has done some Grant Writing and wants to help with that - let us know!!)
In the meantime, we are looking to raise $5,000 to cover some operating costs which include supplies, tools, insurance, website, as well as some new signage to have on the main road, the street and driveway - AND to bless some folks with FREE PARTS TOO!
P.S. If you are interested in volunteering (in the shop or in the house)- let us know.
In fact... Next Spring-Fall we would love to get some youth or young adults to come and wash and detail cars when the repairs are done again! There's space for it and we'll feed you!! We know that's awhile from now - but think about it, and let us know!!
