Call to Non-Profits: Do You Need a Truck Now and Then?

Call to Non-Profits: Do You Need a Truck Now and Then?

Buffalo CarShare Interim Executive Director Creighton Randall is excited that CarShare reached a milestone recently, when the innovative upstart company passed the 100-member mark and settled into a steady base of use.

But every good idea seems to spawn others, and such is the case here.  CarShare is looking to help non-profit entities by placing one or more trucks into their fleet of little blue cars, thus providing dedicated access to non-profits that could benefit from this service. They'll also be looking at funding models that would allow CarShare to significantly reduce costs for these non-profit organizations.

So, if your organization is in need of a truck (or trucks), join CarShare for an exploratory meeting in early October at their office. Possible dates are listed here; please fill out the form with your availability. Also, email c.randall@buffalocarshare.org to indicate your organization's interest.

Great idea! There are lots of organizations who need to transport things that can't be exposed to the elements. Any thought of adding a van to the fleet?

I wish we did. We will certainly utilize the service should the need present it. I utilized Zip Car in DC which worked well, a little more critical mass there. But I hopes this works, good luck!
