Establish a vehicle donation program
The lack of access to a personal vehicle is a significant barrier for individuals seeking employment opportunities in areas with minimal or inefficient public transit.
Establish a vehicle donation program and set up cross-sector partnerships to advertise your program and efficiently donate vehicles.
To get started:
Identify members interested in overseeing a long-term effort to manage the program.
Create partnerships with nonprofits and other local groups.
Advertise the program to your association and broader community members for in-kind donations and to reach individuals in need of assistance.
Consider contributing funds for vehicle maintenance and repairs.
