Fundraise Focus: Replacing CCAC’s Stolen Van
COVID has been tough on many of us. It’s been tough on CCAC.
In 2021, CCAC’s Ford Econoline van was stolen from the CCAC parking lot on Edgeware in Angelino Heights. It was later found in South Los Angeles being used as a homeless shelter. It was a total loss. Insurance did not pay enough to replace it.
In addition, CCAC used funds to protect the graffiti removal trucks in their parking lot. Why? Because the catalytic converters were getting stolen. They ended up having to replace a truck and installed barbed wire to the property.
CCAC uses a van for their youth job program and other group activities.
What’s the solution for now? The kids use DASH buses to complete their anti-graffiti / beautiication work around our neighborhoods. This adds another layer of organization and challenge. Hauling equipment and people around by DASH bus is not easy, but the kids have been completing their duties. They’ve struck up good friendships with the DASH bus drivers who understand they need more time to get their equipment on the bus. Thanks DASH!
Our 2022 goal for artUnite is to help CCAC in part or whole purchase a solid, safe, reliable 12-15 passenger van.
Please help us reach this goal for artUnite 2022.
