Can you donate an SUV?
My old Chevy Tahoe is nearing her end, and I’m in need of a newer SUV. When a chaplain is called out in the dead of night, he doesn’t want to drive down a dark gravel road to a house in the middle of a forest, and not have people know who he is. Thus, I don’t use the monastery’s van, but our SUV, with the chaplain’s logo on the side. This vehicle was given to the monastery many years ago, by a San Francisco couple. Since we are a 501.C3 non-profit, anyone who donates the vehicle can use it as a tax right off. If you, or someone you know, could donate such a vehicle, I would be most grateful. (I’ve served as a police and fire chaplain on Vashon Island for almost 20 years).

Igumen Tryphon, If you call me to let me know what it is you need, besides “SUV” I might be able to help. I used to represent 5 new car dealers in the area and have many contacts, but I also have many Russian friends and Kumovi who get fantastic deals at local auctions with excellent prices. If you want to spend a few minutes to get to the specifics, this can be a good mission. The unworthy Priest, Fr. William 916 524 4422
I’m praying the Lord will send you a car….
God bless & drive safe!
Dear Father,
We don’t have an SUV, but have you researched if there is a dealer who might donate one, new or not-too-used? What would one cost?
Christ is risen!

Many hands make light work, dear Father. If we who love and support you could gather together our small bits, it may be surprising how quickly those funds would add up. Please allow us to do this for you. It would be a blessing to help as we are able and return a small portion of the guidance and wisdom God offers to us through you.
