Family Car Initiative
In 2007, IOCP launched the Family Car Initiative (FCI) with PRISM (People Responding in Social Ministry), and other suburban outreach agencies, in order to recruit used cars and provide low-cost car repair for families who need a car to find or keep a job.
The western suburbs, where most new job opportunities are being created, are not well served by public transportation. The families IOCP sees need cars to find and upgrade employment. A reliable car is a key to a family's economic freedom and self-esteem. A reliable car increases family income by 40% and allows 80% of families to forgo public cash assistance.
FCI allows donors to deduct fair market value-the maximum tax benefit available. To learn more about FCI and how to donate a car, call 763-529-1860 or go to www.fcifamilycar.org/.
Donating your vehicle to IOCP is Easy and Tax-Deductible.
