Calling All Cars - Consider Donating Your Vehicle to LCC and Receive Full Blue Book Value
Help Families in Need
Over the past couple of months several requests for vehicles have come to LCC that we have not been able to fulfill. We are making a special appeal for vehicle donations. If you have a vehicle you're no longer using and would like to make a charitable donation, please contact our office. LCC credits you full Kelley Blue Book value for your donation. We are looking for cars that have been well cared for and are still serviceable with very little or no work needed. These vehicles are passed through directly to people and families in need. Thank you for considering helping someone in need with your used vehicle as the Christmas season approaches. Call LCC at (866) 455-6466 and we'll walk you through the donation process.

Pastor Paul Klopke of Living Christ Arlington Heights Seeks Car for Woman in Need |
 |
 |
Pastor Paul Klopke has asked LCC to share the need of a woman in his community for a working vehicle. He writes...
Several months ago (September 2, 2012) Living Christ held an outreach event called "The Church has Left the Building". We went to McDonald's, nursing homes, a laundry mat, a community song fest and department store parking lots doing many acts of kindness. At one location (the Wheeling laundry mat) the owner was taken so much by our generosity that she recommended to a woman who was in need to park her old and dying car some place to call Living Christ Church. She said, "This church helps people in need".
Marcy contacted me three weeks ago and I allowed her car to stay on our parking lot temporarily. Many prayers have been offered up for her and her car. Several days ago she has informed me that she sold her car and that it will be picked up by the end of the week. God is good! Marcy who works part time and is underemployed still needs a car.
If you know of anyone that has a used car that they would like to donate to the church for this needful woman please contact LCC at (866) 455-6466 or email LCC at

Pastor Dean Pittelko of Grace English Chicago Alerts LCC to Life-Long Church Worker in Need of a Car |
|
|
LCC has received a request from Pastor Dean Pittelko of Grace English Lutheran Church in Chicago about a need for a car. He writes...
This man has been a faithful worker for the Lord and His people for many years and sacrificed a great deal in doing so. His car broke down and because repair costs are prohibitive, he is truning to LCC and its supporters to consider helping him so he can continue to help others. A graduate of Concordia in River Forest and the St. Louis Seminary, he works with the disabled and in youth ministry and makes very little money. He has been a blessing to many, let's now be a blessing to him.
If you have a serviceable car and would consider donating it through LCC to this dedicated church worker please call us at (866) 455-6466 and we will take you through the donation process. All donors are given credit for full Kelley Blue Book value of the car for charitable deduction purposes. |

Mrs. H. is going through a difficult divorce. She is in need of an automobile for her family. She has no way of getting her three children (6, 5, and 3) to and from school. She has no way to buy groceries and other supplies for her family. She would like to apply for disability, but has no transportation to get her to where she needs to go to apply for disability. She also needs a car to come to church and hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Herbert Grieves, semi-retired pastor helping Cross Lutheran Church, Yorkville, Illinois, requests help for a couple needing a car to get to work and to medical appointments. This couple, in their 40's, has been without a home for about a year and has been staying with a friend during that time. They were recently baptized by me at the friend's home and have continued in home instruction in the Lutheran Christian faith. The woman has major health challenges and is awaiting results from an MRI to determine if she has bone cancer. The man has been actively seeking work but has had to rely on borrowing a friend's car to get to work when an opportunity is available. The friend's home may no longer be available to them in the near future and they are in need of a car for transportation to a steady job and to medical appointments.
Pastor Tom Gibbons, the assistant pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church, Roselle, IL writes that a vehicle is needed for an older couple who require reliable daily transportation for shopping and frequent medical appointments at the Hines VA hospital and to get to other area doctors. The husband has had recent surgeries for illnesses that are believed to be linked to his exposure to "agent orange" during the Vietnam War. This has made it impossible for the husband to continue working. The couple exists only on social security income and they are unable to repair their old, very high mileage full sized van. A vehicle of any type in good running condition would enable the couple to get to church, the grocery store, and their frequent medical appointments.
Pastor Hicham Chehab of Salam Christian Fellowship, Lombard, Illinois writes that a vehicle is needed for Waleed, a former Muslim who is preparing to go to the seminary and desires to plant another Salam Fellowship in Chicago.
Hameed Altai, Director of International Missions at Faith in Troy, Michigan helps immigrant families assimilate into life in the United States. Crucial to that transition is attaining a driver's license. Getting a license and a used car solves 75% of the problems for families according to Altai. Faith offers new immigrants and refugees driver's education so they can get their licenses. They use the church parking lot to teach driving skills and also prepare them for the written portion of the test. Hameed explains the need for at least one additional car to help this ministry.
Pastor Schauer has shared this need with us and is asking for donations that will come through the church to help with the purchase of a car.
