One Good Thing: Van donation helps healing vets

My Auto Group stepped up and donated the van to the county Department of Veteran's Affairs.

MUSKEGON, Mich. — Transportation can often be a big obstacle for agencies that help people in need.  That's less of a problem for one today.

The My Auto Group recently donated this van to the Muskegon County Department of Veterans Affairs. They reached out to the VA, and asked them what their biggest need was. They said, 'transportation.' Volunteers use their own cars a lot to get vets around. That's a liability issue. Or, the vets are dealing with changing bus routes. 

This van is going to help them do what they do best: help veterans struggling to re-enter civilian life. Specifically, the VA says some housebound vets will be able to get to the grocery store... or to the Wyoming clinic where they can get medical service.

The My Auto Group General Manager, Mike Kaffenberger said: "The debt that we owe our veterans can never be fully paid. The least we can do is assist them in their time of need." For that van donation to the Muskegon County Veterans Affairs, The My Auto Group gets today's One Good Thing.
