Lifeboat Geelong has adopted a new fundraising project.
NEED TO DISPOSE OF A VEHICLE?
Disposal of a car from a deceased estate, or when a family member has had to relinquish their licence or go into residential care can be a challenging process. This can involve getting a roadworthy, taking photos to advertise it on the internet, cleaning and polishing, taking calls (if they come), even garaging it until a prospective buyer turns up (if indeed they do!).
If you need to dispose of a vehicle from a deceased estate or which is no longer required, you might like to consider gifting it to the “Lifeboat Geelong Foundation”, a registered charity with tax deductible status, which for eight years has been providing pastoral and practical support to nearly 150 victims / survivors of sexual abuse by church personnel.
Many of these have post-traumatic stress, and limited or no employment. They generally have poor quality vehicles (all they can afford) or other major financial needs for which the sale of a donated vehicle would make all the difference.
A donated vehicle will either be gifted to a Lifeboat client who needs it, or will be sold by “Lifeboat” in order to generate funds to assist clients in other ways. If a vehicle is sold by Lifeboat, the funds generated will be considered as a tax deductible donation to Lifeboat’s work.
If you would like to explore the possibility of gifting a registered and running vehicle to “Lifeboat”, contact:
