🚗🪛 Repair It Forward 300 Car Fund 🪛🚗
No one should have to choose between feeding their family & keeping their vehicle safe. Everyone needs help sometimes.
Repair It Forward 300 isn’t about charity; it's about people helping people.
Our goal is to help anyone in our community who may need help in unexpected times.
This is accomplished in two ways
🥇1️⃣ First, through our $300 Repair It Forward 300 vouchers
🥈2️⃣ Second, by repairing donated vehicles and giving them to needy members in our community who do not have a vehicle or whose vehicle is beyond repair, for just $150.
💰 🏦 When the Repair It Fund 300 reaches $300 in cash donations, one person will be chosen by the staff from Baker’s Air Conditioning and Mechanical to receive a $300 voucher to be used within 6 months on any car service or repair at Baker’s Air Conditioning and Mechanical.
🚘 A vehicle for $150? We use donated cars, utilise volunteer labour, and rely on discounted parts and donations. The $150 cost per car sold helps fund repairs and vouchers in the fund, and the receiver can also help the next person in need. Helping each other in all small ways.
All work is performed here at Baker’s Air Conditioning and Mechanical after business hours and on weekends by the same faces you see here every day and some other volunteers.
Anyone can submit nominations at any time of the year. When the fund hits $300, all nominations received will be considered for the $300 repair/service voucher; all future nominations will go into the next $300 repair/service voucher giveaway. Each person who nominates someone will also go into the draw to win a $50.00 repair/service voucher, and the person who receives the $300 repair/service voucher for their nominee will also receive a $50.00 repair/service voucher.
📝 To nominate yourself or someone else for the next $300 repair/service voucher
Please include –
Nominee's full name and contact details (phone and email)
Vehicle currently owned
Repairs needed if known
Why you need or believe they may need a helping hand, and could use the $300 repair voucher
Your relationship to the nominee and contact details (phone and email)
And drop your entry into the workshop or email it through to [email protected]
💲💲💲 $2.00 from every invoice through the workshop will be donated to the Repair It Forward 300 Fund. Items from our small gifts available in our reception area, we will donate 50% of their proceeds to the Repair It Forward 300 Fund.
🆘🤔❓❓Would you like to help too? Donations are welcome: $5, $10, any amount, no matter how large or how small; they all help and add up. Donations can be made in store, over the phone, directly to our account, or by rounding up your invoice when collecting your vehicle.
How you can help –
• Monetary donations
• Vehicle donations
• Donations of new parts to use
• Donation of the use of car trailers
• Donations of batteries for recycling
• If you think you can help in another way, please get in touch with us so we can talk about it
How can I nominate or be nominated to receive a second-hand car for $150?
Now, this is a bigger goal: nominations will be open once we have a car that's been donated and is ready to be donated. This could be in a few weeks, a few months, or a year; it will depend on two things: the receipt of donated cars and how much work needs to be done on them.
So, keep your eyes on our page, and we will post when we have a suitable one that has been donated, can be repaired, and is ready to give away. Then you can start sending in nominations.
🚗🎁🚗 Donation of vehicles
We are looking for vehicles that do not require any major engine, transmission or body repairs.
Are you upgrading your car? Don’t need that second car any longer. Deceased estate: they can all help us provide a car for someone in need. Contact us, and we will assess whether it is suitable and cost-effective to repair.
If it is not suitable or cost-effective and you would still like to donate it to us, it will be resold or salvaged, and the funds raised will be used to buy parts for other repairable vehicles or to support the Repair It Forward 300 Fund.
If you need assistance moving it, we can help, but it will take a little more time, as those who help move them do so voluntarily, and we will have to coordinate schedules.
🫴🫴🫴Help us help others, get behind and support Repair It Forward 300, and let's keep as many people as possible safe on our roads. You never know, one day you or someone you know may need a helping hand.
Businesses that would like to be involved in or support the Repair It Forward 300 Fund, please get in touch with us for further information on how you can be part of the team.
👀😃👀Keep an eye on our page for updates on when nominations are open and closed for the next $300 repair voucher giveaway, when a can has been donated, and for all other events and how we have helped others. Reaching goals, impacting lives, providing hope - Making a difference one repair, one car at a time.
Support will make a huge difference.
