Holiday Greetings!

This season calls us to reflect on our blessings and share our aspirations. At Village Community Services, our mission centers on enhancing the lives of our clients.

We envision a future where our clients awaken every day with a deep sense of belonging and joy, knowing they’re surrounded by a compassionate community of friends. When asked about their dreams, clients express a heartfelt desire for lives like yours; they seek profound fulfillment in life’s simple pleasures.

A vital way we can help realize these dreams is by offering safe, reliable transportation. In 2025, we plan to add a 14-person van to our fleet, enabling clients to join group outings and easily reach grocery stores or medical appointments.

With this dependable transportation, our clients will have the freedom to enjoy life’s small joys—whether it’s stopping by Starbucks for a vanilla latte or setting off on a scenic road trip. Together, we can transform their everyday dreams into lasting memories.

A used 14-person van generally costs around $40,000, and we are earnestly seeking your assistance to make this purchase in 2025.

CAN WE COUNT ON YOU?

Every dollar received will directly contribute to bettering the lives of our clients. We sincerely thank you for your consideration and unwavering generosity now and throughout the year.

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones.

With gratitude,

Your friends at Village Community Services

Why a 14-Seater Van?

Increased Capacity: A 14-person van will enable us to transport more individuals at once, ensuring that no one is left behind due to lack of space.
More Outreach: This new vehicle will allow us to reach underserved areas and provide essential services to those who need them most.
Efficiency: The van will reduce the required trips, saving time and resources so that we can focus more on our mission.
Sustainability: By replacing older, less efficient vehicles with larger, more reliable vehicles, we can reduce maintenance costs.

We need to raise $40,000 to purchase the van. This amount includes the cost of the van/bus, insurance, and any required modifications to meet our specific needs.

Donate $50: Helps cover the first installment cost toward the van.
Donate $100: Cover towards the cost of the van’s registration and insurance costs.
Donate $250: Helps cover the cost of essential modifications to the van, such as accessibility improvements.
