Village SCAT Transportation was the $1,150 recipient of the Giving Back to the Community funds donated by City Plumbing, Heating & Electric, Inc. for the month of June. Village SCAT Transportation provides low cost transportation to individuals within the Village, allowing residents to remain independent.
Residents can schedule rides for personal needs such as shopping, medical appointments, physical therapy, social events and personal appointments. Rides are provided within the Village and right outside of the gates.
Village SCAT is a unique nonprofit organization because there are approximately 60 volunteers that give of their time to drive and work in the office. Volunteers give about eight hours a month to ensure that the vans are operating Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
A major fundraising project is underway to obtain two new vehicles that will replace the current vans being used. New vehicles will allow SCAT to better service customers. For further information or to schedule a ride, call 915-0087.
With this donation, City Plumbing, Heating & Electric has given a total of $66,920.61 since November 2009. The July donation will go to the Garland County Jail Ministry. Call 623-3325 or 922-3325 for any plumbing, heat and air, and electrical needs.
