Cars4Christmas

This is truly a community project. It brings together industries, media and many local individuals to help fellow residents and their families. The following excerpts from press releases will help to demonstrate the important role that is fulfilled by C4C. In 1999 Radio station 99.7 KYYS was approached by Cars 4 Christmas founder Terry Franz, to help the Kansas City project grow and he was greeted with open arms… Recipients have included a young mother with a 2 year old child with heart problems walking an hour in the cold morning to get to a bus stop to get the child to daycare and her to a job, a man caring for a premature baby on oxygen and a feeding tube that was riding the bus in a emergency to get his child to Children’s Mercy Hospital, and a disabled Desert Storm Veteran with his family living on disability and unable to afford a car to get to doctor appointments. A dozen local charities that needed transportation to effectively deliver their services to the community have received vehicles. A family that had not been able to leave the house together for 3 years because two family members were wheelchair bound were given a van with a wheelchair lift to resume a normal life and hurricane evacuees have been given transportation so they may help themselves start a new life. Although the cars are not the newest or fanciest, it’s not about a free car. It’s about the freedom to get to a doctor, the grocery store, or even a child getting a ride to school. It’s about getting to a job that is further than walking distance or getting to town if you live in a rural community and its about giving someone transportation to lift themselves to a better standard of living. With the help of Automotive dealers, Gas companies, Repair shops, Tire stores, Tow lots , Parts companies and many in the community we have helped many individuals and families with a new found freedom to better their lifestyle. A vibrant community depends on the participation and contributions of all its members. Cars 4 Christmas gives vehicles away all year and uses our Christmas events to raise awareness of our project. If you wonder about the need for our services, we receive over 20,000 requests every year . We are looking to expand our program to other communities as the interest grows.
