THANKS GIVING

Greetings from Good Works, A COMMUNITY OF HOPE!

REJOICE with us -- Good Works Transformation Station provided car # 101 this week.  That means 101 families donated a car to Good Works and 101 families from rural southeast Ohio have received a car and now have t r a n s p o r t a t i o n !!!!

In rural communities. transportation is the #1 issue that separates rural poverty from urban poverty.

As of today,  we have 1 car left and 160 people on the waiting list to volunteer their time to obtain a car. Some people wait patiently over a period of 2 years.

Do you know someone who might consider donating a car to Good Works?  Would you be willing to ask a few friends you know if they know anyone?
Each donor receives the full IRS fair-market value as a tax deduction because we do not resell the vehicles.

The Transformation Station (TS) provides people struggling with poverty an opportunity to serve others by volunteering their time and skills to help people struggling with poverty here in Athens County. Volunteers join other volunteers who come to serve with Good Works (short-term mission teams) as they provide assistance at the homes of widows and our friends struggling with disabilities at the homes.  TS volunteers also assist with projects on the Good Works properties such as grounds keeping and mailings. One morning equals 1 point. As volunteers accumulate points, they can obtain a car. It usually take several weeks of consistent volunteering to obtain enough points to get a car. But participants can also volunteer for appliances (especially washers/dryers),  furniture and food!

IT gives us GREAT JOY to participate in the lives of so many people for whom transportation is a significant key of HOPE in their life.

Would you pass this e-mail (along with a few words of introduction) on to friends you know?  We really need to get the word out!

If you know anyone willing to donate their car to us, they can contact Paul Richard by e-mail  paul at good-works.net<mailto:paul at good-works.net> or by telephone at 740.594.3336.


LOVE IS A VERB,

Keith Wasserman
