Wisdom on Wednesday

We each have a role to play in giving back to our communities. A positive community can’t exist without some degree of interdependence — and positive communities thrive off of mutual care for one another. When we choose to intentionally make a difference for our community, we’re strengthening our communal bonds and creating a better environment to live.

As I am all about my local community, and giving back, this excites me to provide more insight to a local group each week.

Vehicles for Change

Vehicles for Change is?a nonprofit organization that awards cars to families in need and provides automotive training and career opportunities.?Donate your car in three easy steps and support their mission of transforming lives through transportation.

?

The core values that guide Vehicles for Change:

Integrity:?Being ethically unyielding, honest, inspiring trust by saying what we mean, matching our behaviors to our words and taking responsibility for our actions.

Mission Driven:?There is no better job in the world than one that provides a valuable service for our fellow man.

Family:?VFC will strive to continue to meet the needs of the team as the team strives to meet the needs of each other. We are compassionate towards everyone we encounter, inside and outside of the office.

Pride:?It is our goal to have the best and brightest be a part of the VFC team. A group that believes that what we do is not only having an impact on our families but also in our communities.

POS (Positively Outrageous Service):?There are a few groups we serve on any given day: recipients, donors, volunteers, funders, sponsoring agencies and each other. Every group deserves the very best service! Every team member is empowered to “make it better” for one of our constituents.

Innovation:?Change is a good thing! It is vital that we continue to evolve the organization to grow stronger and more efficient. Each team member is empowered to discover new ways that VFC can better serve our customers, increase our productivity and secure our future growth.

The “ME”:?Each staff member must commit to the team and to themselves. Bring your best to work, every day. Hold yourself and others accountable for bringing your best and being a team player. Develop personally and professionally and have fun doing it!?
