PROMOTING INDEPENDENCE BY
PROVIDING CAR CARE
2016
ANNUAL REPORT
From the President
To all the supporters and recipients of the Douglas County Car Care Program:
The Douglas County Car Care Program (DCCCP) is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprof-
it serving Douglas County Minnesota. The mission of DCCCP is “Promoting Inde-
pendence by Providing Car Care.”
From the beginning, DCCCP has donated 161 cars and repaired 276 client vehicles.
Koep’s Korner and staff evaluated 680 cars in the process. Because of the program,
437 families were able to get a job, get to work, make their medical appointments
and/or care for their families.
The program would not be possible without the financial support of the community,
the services provided by the local automotive community, the vehicle donors, fund-
raising supporters, the great work performed by the volunteers and the program coor-
dination by the staff.
This year we were blessed with a two-year grant from the Otto Bremer Trust, a grant
from the Douglas Machine Foundation, and an anonymous gift of $20,000. We be-
gan a three-year fundraising campaign, as part of the leadership-succession planning
for DCCCP; we received pledges and contributions of $28,665 in the first year. Also
thanks for the many new and sustaining contributions in any amount.
Thanks to Koep’s Korner for accepting the donated vehicles, evaluating and repair-
ing them, and providing emergency repairs or evaluations when needed. Thanks also
to Alexandria Motors, Diamond Buick GMC, and Juettner Motors for evaluating
vehicles for our Car Care Saturdays, and then providing shop and technical support
for our volunteers. Thanks also to the many shops and services that provided sup-
port that are identified in this report.
Thank you to the sixteen restaurants that provided excellent food for the Second An-
nual Taste of Douglas County. Approximately 500 supporters enjoyed the outstand-
ing entrees that were prepared and served.
Special thanks to the Alexandria Area High School DECA, CAPS students who de-veloped a fundraising walk-a-thon titled “We’ll walk so they can drive.” This was the first of what may become another annual event.
Finally, thanks to fellow Board Members and staff for your support in making this
program possible… so we can move people from welfare to work, one car at a time.

Our Partners Partners make the Car Care Program work. Koep’s Korner provides the drop off site for donated vehicles
and does the evaluations to determine if the car is viable for donation, and then normally completes those
repairs. All three franchised dealers, Juettner Motors, Alexandria Motors and Diamond Buick, host the Car
Care Saturdays, providing the evaluations of the cars to be repaired, the technical support , volunteers and
space for our volunteers to do the repairs. Alex/Viking Towing as well as Shutters, provide free towing
services. NAPA Central MN provides parts at their cost and Auto Value provides parts at a reduced price.
Woody’s Car Wash provides $100 a month to be used for the ten gallons we put in each donated car or a car
wash when needed. Mike’s In & Out provides a free oil change and inspection for each donated car. Free
repairs are also provided by Precision Auto, Shutters, Tiremaxx, Interstate Auto Glass and others when
asked.

We’ll Walk So They Can Drive A DECA CAPS fundraiser
Spencer Hockert, Keaton Kvale and McKayla Petrie, senior members of the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) and students at Alexandria Area High School, are involved in the Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS). As a project, the students selected to work with the Douglas County Car Care Program and develop a fundraising activity
The students decided to create a “We’ll Walk So They Can Drive” Walk-a-Thon. The students started by getting sponsors to pay for the silk screened t-shirts to be worn when they went out to seek pledges for the walkers; and to be worn by those who pledged and walked at the event. The t-shirt sponsors included Pehrson Construc-tion, Consulting Solutions, Prospero Institute, Carl Kvale with Edina Realty, and Mosquito Joe.
The students raised $3,165 and their hope is that this will become an annual event for students, serving the community.
Guests enjoying great food and comradery.

Leadership Transition Funding Campaign 2016
The Douglas County Car Care Program (DCCCP) is now starting its fifth year. As a result, the foun-
dations that helped get the program started are now expecting the community to play a bigger role in
maintaining the program.
As the founder and current executive director plans to retire in two years, it is imperative that DCCCP
develop a local financial support plan. To make that work, the Board is asking the community for
help.
To establish a funding plan that includes support for the next three years so the program can continue,
The Board is asking for a three year commitment, so we can continue to move people from welfare to
work, one car at a time.
