Donated vehicles wanted for young activists in Maine

Do you have a vehicle in good working condition (doesn't mean it's perfect, but that, to the best of your knowledge, it is running OK and doesn't need a large amount of work to be road worthy) that you are not using (or won't be soon) and can donate to a young activist in Maine?

ROSC (Resources for Organizing and Social Change) has gotten several vehicles donated in the past few years that have been given to young activists who needed to get around to do their social change work. We have provided a tax deduction to those who donated vehicles and can provide that again to those who might need the deduction.

We can receive cars or pick them up.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO PEOPLE IN NEED OF A CAR. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.

IF YOU CAN DONATE A VEHICLE NOW OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE, PLEASE CONTACT LARRY DANSINGER, 525-7776 OR rosc@psouth.net. Thanks for any help you can offer.
