STEP Has a New Van

Posted on by admin

 

In response to the increased need to pick up and deliver groceries to neighbors in need during the pandemic, STEP has purchased a cargo van. The vehicle was made possible thanks to the timely response of community leaders. We look forward to putting on many miles getting food around town!
The van’s cost was completely covered by the following supporters:

Previously, STEP has relied on volunteers’ personal vehicles and an arrangement with Reddy Rents.
In an effort to support the work of hunger reduction, Reddy Rents provided a cargo van to STEP four mornings a week at a significant discount. That arrangement was essential for STEP to bridge the need until this point of time. STEP thanks Reddy Rents for the years of support!

The vision is for a place for residents to come to be connected to city, STEP, and other vital services. It would allow STEP to enhance and expand its current offerings.
