While quite a few people might be familiar with the American Red Cross and its car donation program, many of those folks have absolutely no idea what sorts of things the charity is getting involved in with its newly raised funds. After all, if they are getting all of these car donations and selling those cars for proceeds, then they have to be doing something with the money, right?
They aren’t just sitting on the cash, if that’s what you were thinking. In fact, some Girl Scout units around Washington, D.C. have benefited from the car donation proceeds.
The Red Cross and the Girl Scouts of America have had a long standing relationship, and the Red Cross is putting some of their human resources into play to help Girl Scouts learn safety this year. This is one of the ways that the charity is reaching out in the community in order to impact actual lives, instead of just being a community support unit.
Preparing Girl Scouts for the future has been the focus of many of the events held around the D.C. area, and it would not have been possible without the money from car donation drives in Washington. Sending out employees and having all of the training supplies is an expensive task, and many people forget that even non-profit organizations need money for programs, too. Because folks have generously donated a car to the charity, the teaming up with the Girl Scouts of America has been a reality, though.
