OUR VAN
The Story of the Van
In 2010, the CCMF Board of Directors recognized that the agency’s original van (donated to CCMF by St. Joseph’s Hospital) was going to need to be replaced at some point in the not-too-distant future. CCMF began an aggressive fundraising campaign but by 2014 when the original van was no longer safe to drive, were still significantly short of the $60,000+ price tag of a new van.
We are eternally grateful that The Judith & Norman Alix Foundation heard of our plight and donated the entire $60,000 to cover the purchase of a van and to have it fully equipped to safely transport our medically fragile. Pictured here is Judith Alix presenting a 2014 Chevrolet Express Cargo van to members of the CCMF community on the day it was delivered to Standing Oaks.
The van is available to those who require transportation of their medically fragile loved one(s). We do not charge for the use of the van but do ask that you replace the gas that you use for your trip.
We can also provide training to those wishing to become qualified to drive our van.
