Charity is something people depend on, and to be perfectly frank, it’s something more rich people and multi-million dollar corporations should do a whole lot more of. All over the country there are thousands of non-profit organizations doing good things for good people, and really what they need is a little help. Those that are in a position to provide that help really should. Luckily for these organizations, Toyota wants to lend a hand. Actually, they want to lend a hundred hands by giving away 100 free vehicles to the non-profit organizations that really deserve them.
So how does one decide which organizations are most deserving of getting a free car? Much like they’d do for any other kind of grant or public donation, they state their case. In this instance, however, they state their case on Facebook, where voters then determine which organizations will be receiving free vehicles, and which just couldn’t quite muster up the requisite amount of support. As votes get tallied, free vehicles are given away, and with the promotion ending in mid-August, that means a few cars a day for the next two months.
The first 25 winners have already been announced, and the lucky organizations range from a SADD chapter to a food bank; an animal shelter to a gospel mission; a children’s hospital to an organization where disabled people can play sports. It’s a wide range of needs based in a wide range of geographical locations. Winners ended up getting free vehicles everywhere from Alaska to Michigan to Virginia. The need isn’t necessarily greater or less in any of these places, but it’s nice to know that all of them will soon be getting the help of a brand new Toyota automobile.
There’s really no telling which cars will play the hero to all these organizations. In Wellington, Toyota Camry could be the savior. In Lake Worth, Toyota Corolla. In other parts of the country, who knows? It could be a Prius, a Sienna, or a RAV-4. Whatever the vehicle, the very freeness of the donation means nonprofit do-gooders can do good without unneeded overhead. The more help they get financially, the better they can do their jobs because, after all, charity is something people depend on.
