Major Needs
The Children's Home needs a late model Full-Size Automobile in very good shape in which staff may attend meetings conferences and the like. Such a gift will offer the donor a tax deduction of the car's full market value while saving The Children's Home many thousands of dollars, for use directly for the children.
The same goes for a late-model Passenger Van for transporting children on field trips, off-campus jobs, athletic events and the like and a reliable truck for plowing and sanding Missionary Road and our parking lots this winter.
