This 4th of July will be a day to remember for Utica resident Aaron Bankson. Bankson was the recipient of a 2006 Honda Accord as a result of applying for the Recycled Rides™ program through Seward County Bridges. Recycled Rides™ is a community service program of the National Auto Body Council where body shops repair and donate recycled vehicles to families in need. The Honda Accord, which had been totaled because of severe hail damage, was donated by Nationwide to the Recycled Rides™ for Schools program. Students enrolled in the Southeast Community College Collision Repair and Automotive Program in Milford repaired and then donated the vehicle to Seward County Bridges, a local nonprofit organization, that facilitated the giveaway in partnership with the Seward County Chamber & Development Partnership. Bridges works to enhance the quality of life for all people in Seward County through empowerment and engagement within the county and community by networking, connecting, and coordinating. After all the applications to the Seward County Bridges/Recycled Rides™ program were reviewed by the Bridges Committee, Bankson was selected to be the recipient of the car. This is the first year for Southeast Community College in Milford and Seward County Bridges to be involved with Recycled Rides™ for Schools.
