Since 2008, the Servants of the Father of Mercy ("Homeless In America" blog), our KIA Rondo van (photos) has travelled 175,000 miles and intercepted 10s of 1,000s of homeless men, women and children – as well as collected 1,000s of clothing and food donations. The van has made 100s of deliveries of food, water, clothing, blankets and shoes in Ventura, CA - Los Angeles, CA - El Paso, TX - Shreveport, LA - Nashville, TN - Knoxville, TN - Myrtle Beach, SC - Denver, CO - Seattle, WA and others.
On Thursday, the KIA Rondo was
taken off the road for 1 - 2 weeks due to major repairs.
Beginning this week it will undergo more than $3,300 in critical and expensive maintenances
in order to keep it running on the streets serving 10s of 1,000s of more homeless for
many more years to come:
-
Timing Chain
- Water Pump
- Engine Overhaul
- Rear Brakes
-
Front and Rear Tires
