Do not click links or open attachments unless verified. Report <br /> Dear Town Manager Myren, <br /> I hope this email finds you well. <br /> Grow Your World, a 501(c)(3)nonprofit(EIN 84-1845124)based in Carrboro, is writing to <br /> request donated vehicles* from Orange County Government that, when combined, are capable <br /> of transporting and/or serving twenty(20) or more individuals related to youth programming. <br /> Grow Your World will use these donated vehicles from Orange County to provide youth who <br /> largely lack ready access to transportation and face multi-faceted barriers to opportunities with <br /> the following, to include: afterschool programming, summer camp, access to in-school to <br /> mentors from local universities, nutritious food and snacks,project-based learning <br /> experiences, tutoring and academic support, substance misuse education, healthy alternatives <br /> during high-risk use times both in and out of school. Beyond transportation, these experiences <br /> usually come with a high price-tag, which Grow Your World strategically offsets for youth <br /> currently in low-income households and other fragile groups (e.g.juvenile justice-involved <br /> and justice impacted youth). <br /> Would you please share the vehicles currently in inventory which are available to be donated? <br />
