Auto Repair Group To Donate Cars, Repairs To Veterans
October 15, 2010
Tempe, Ariz. — The Auto Repair Good Guys Foundation has rolled out a new program to donate cars and auto repairs to struggling veterans throughout Arizona.
The Cars for Wounded Warriors program is designed to help American military personnel and their families who have automobile-related needs and financial hardship due to death, injury, or physical or mental problems as a result of service in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The idea was the brainchild of Dave Denmon of Dave’s Car Care in Glendale, who brought up the idea at the last meeting of the foundation’s shop owners.
"Everyone can appreciate how important a car is in our daily lives," said Denmon. "A little help can go a long way in getting people back on their feet again and a reliable car can make a huge difference in the lives of our returning soldiers and their families."
