1-800-CHARITY CARS, a national non-profit which provides free
donated vehicles to struggling families has been inundated with
requests from donors across the nation directing the charity to
provide their donated cars to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Additionally, 1-800-CHARITY CARS is receiving requests from victims
and volunteers desperate to receive a free vehicle so that they can
begin to rebuild their lives. The charity expects requests for free
vehicles to number in the thousands. "Owning a vehicle may be the
most important ingredient in being able to overcome their present
circumstances," stated Brian Menzies, President of 1-800-CHARITY
CARS. "A free vehicle would literally change these folks lives."
The organization is seeking partners from the automobile industry
to assist it with repairs and with transporting the donated

transport costs, the organization is seeking funds needed to
provide the down payments for insurance, tag, registration and
title fees. Call 1-800-CHARITY CARS for details.
