This month’s car donation features a 1990 Ford Ranger that was donated to KNKX through the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program. Car Talk works with local public radio stations across the nation. They ensure that each station gets the most from the proceeds of your donation. This enables your favorite programs to continue fostering thoughtful discussion, trustworthy information, and engaging entertainment. Your car donation helps keep your favorite public radio programming on air.
This donor shares their experience with their beloved vehicle and why they chose to donate to KNKX:
I recently decided to donate my old Ford Ranger pickup truck. Ford trucks have been essential to our family for generations. Besides myself, my brother had one, my father had two, and I’m sure my grandfather owned at least one. Maybe someday one of my nephews will own one.
This truck has served me well for over 20 years. When I lived in Shoreline, we jokingly called it the “Socialist Pickup Truck” (NOT an insult) because every single one of my neighbors used it at one time or another for their home and landscaping projects. Now that I live in Tacoma, it’s time to say goodbye.
I chose to donate it to KNKX because I am a big fan of public broadcast media. Especially local public media, and you won’t find a broadcaster more committed to local news and stories than KNKX. As a listener and supporter, I am more than happy to make this donation knowing that the value of my vehicle will contribute directly to the mission of KNKX.
The proceeds from this vehicle donation will allow KNKX to continue creating content for its loyal listeners!
