Big Brothers & Sisters of Portage County Inc. matches volunteer mentors with Portage County children from single parent families.
One of the fund-raisers that provides funding for the agency to recruit more adult volunteers is the Cars For Kids program in which unwanted, running and non-running cars, trucks, and vans are donated to Big Brothers & Sisters.
Donors receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the vehicle. Vehicles are picked up at no charge. Donors need to provide the keys and title.
To donate a vehicle or for more information, call Ron Kilchenman, associate director, at (330) 296-6655.
