Did you know that you can donate your used vehicle to Turningpoint?
Often, a reliable means of transportation is the last barrier our
clients need to address before achieving their goal of building a self-sufficient,
violence-free life for themselves and their family. In rural communities --
and even slightly larger cities -- public or paid transportation is either
nonexistent or runs according to an inflexible time table. This often prevents
clients who do not own their own vehicle from accessing services and maintaining
gainful employment.
Your donation of a working-condition car, truck, sports utility vehicle, or van is
tax-deductible. And, when you donate a vehicle to Turningpoint, you can be assured
that the vehicle itself will be used to improve the lives of out clients;
Turningpoint does not re-sell
vehicles to support our other programs.
To donate your vehicle, or for more information, call Turningpoint at 715-425-6751 ext.
106 or 1-800-345-5104 ext.106.

Although we receive some of the money necessary to operate
our organization from public funding and grants, most of this
funding requires a private match such as bequeaths in the
name of a family member, endowments, or donations. Your
contribution, no matter how small, can make an enormous
difference!
To make a monetary donation call 715-425-6751, or send your
gift, along with your name, address, and phone number, to:
Turningpoint
P.O. Box 304
River Falls, WI 54022
