WORKING CAR Donation

Rochester Refugee Resettlement Services, a non-profit serving Rochester's refugee population for 15+ years, collaborates with other non-profits and churches that support local refugees.
Paul Oska, Pastor at the Haitian church (Mission de l'Eglise de Dieu de la Faveur,) reached out for transportation help so that church members can pursue job opportunities.

Currently, 3 ladies need to improve their driving so that they can get jobs. Pastor Paul has Church members willing to mentor these ladies towards obtaining licenses. The church seeks a working car donation to meet the driver training need.

A Genesee Co-op Credit Union program will assist job holders to finance their own car. The donated car serves as a hand-up step towards financial independence.

If you or your company wish to donate, contact Pastor Paul Oska at 585-627-3619 or reach out to Rochester Refugee Resettlement, Mike Coniff, CEO. Cell # 585-732-5803.
