Summer vacation and “donation” aren’t two ideas you’d immediately connect. One Canadian tour company pairs the two perfectly!
Turning that summer vacation ride into riches for charity
Have you ever wondered what happens to your summer vacation shuttle bus once its driven its last carriage full of tourists through the Rockies? One BC company makes it a habit of extending the legacy of those trusty vehicles.
The company owner first came to Donate a Car Canada in 2022. His 2010 Ford E450 Bus had been rendered immovable thanks to a stolen catalytic converter. $500.00 was raised for the Regional Animal Protection Society.
Then, in 2023, he donated a scrap-ready 2014 Ford E450 shuttle bus. It too had, you guessed it, a stolen catalytic converter. RAPS received $275.00 dollars to help the critters.
Most recently, this same donor rolled back in with a double donation in January! You read that right: two shuttle vehicles in one month. The happy news? These ones weren’t quite ready to come off the road. Auction-ready and fully of potential, his 2015 Ford E-450 was sold for a donation of $2866.15 for the BC SPCA! It’s parking lot pal, a 2011 Mercedes Benz Sprinter, went for a $1109.02 donation for the same charity!
Summer is more than just slushies and sunshine
The example set by this summer vacation shuttle owner is inspiring! Every vehicle counts — junker and jewel alike. Ask the care teams at RAPS and the BC SPCA: big donation, or small, when it comes to helping vulnerable animals, every gift matters.
This summer, if you find yourself tired of sweeping around that old Taurus, donate it!
Mowing the lawn for the sixth time and annoyed by that unused Honda in the driveway? Donate it!
