Christian Outreach Appeal

On July 4th, our truck was broken into. Someone tried to steal it but thankfully, failed. Unfortunately, they managed to completely damage the door lock to gain entry. The ignition system and the dashboard are completely damaged as well. All of these items need to be replaced.

We are reaching out to you because need your help. Without this truck, the hundreds of people we serve daily will have a hard time obtaining adequate resources. This truck is our only source for moving bulk loads of items for the needy: It’s used daily to pick up large pallets of food from grocery stores and other locations so we can provide groceries and meals to those in need.

We serve 170,000 meals annually - and this truck allows us to do so. Our food bank is 5 days a week, and we average 7 trips daily of picking up and dropping off large pallets of food, not to include averaging 4 trips a day to pick up donations. It’s also used for picking up in-kind donations such as large furniture, hygiene kits, household items, clothing, and more.

Since July 5th, we have only been using a small pickup truck, which is not enough to help us with the over 120 pallets of food transported monthly. Not having our truck has completely disrupted our workflow and we want to avoid any effects it may cause to those in need of our services.

The inclusive price is $8,000 in repairs, towing, replacement parts, and labor. Our insurance deductible is too high and we are devastated. We need your help. Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to helping us get through this ordeal and be able to feed those in need, amongst other services.
