Press Release: Reliable transportation becomes reality for local Ways to Work Family
Lynchburg, VA – On Tuesday, June 24, 2014, a local family in Presbyterian Homes & Family Services and the
Family Alliance’s Ways to Work program will receive an opportunity that will directly impact their life – the
opportunity to own a vehicle. This has been made possible through collaboration with Lynchburg Nissan and
Lynchburg Mazda of Mabry Auto Group.
Join us for a celebration of a special car presentation at Lynchburg Mazda at 10:00 a.m. A single working
father will continue on his journey to success when he receives the keys to his very own vehicle. Currently this
father is relying on coworkers, friends or the city bus for transportation to and from work, appointments and the
grocery store. Be there on Tuesday to be a part of this life-changing event.
