Green Mountain Region Designated 2022 Charities

If you are still considering your year-end charitable donations please consider a donation to one or both of the charities we at Green Mountain Region Porsche Club are supporting this year.

In 2020 and 2021 the beneficiary of our efforts was the Vermont Foodbank which received over $12,600 through GMR member donations coupled with GMR and PCA matching donations of $4,000 and $1,500 respectively.

For 2022, the Board has once again designated the Vermont Foodbank and in addition, the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts’ (VAE) Golden Wrench Scholarship fund. As in prior years GMR will match total member donations up to $1,000 for each organization.

A donation to the Vermont Foodbank is a great way to help fellow Vermonters who may need support during challenging times while the VAE Scholarship program, a certified Vermont non-profit, is an excellent incentive for students to enter the automotive services industry. The Board encourages you to consider these two state-wide organizations for donations in 2022.

Vermont Foodbank

The mission of the Vermont Foodbank is to gather and share quality food and nurture partnerships so that no one in Vermont will go hungry. It is the state’s largest hunger-relief organization, providing nutritious food through a network of more than 300 community partners – food shelves, meal sites, senior centers, after-school programs, schools and hospitals. The Foodbank provides about 12 million pounds of food annually to people throughout Vermont.

To make a donation please go to the Vermont Food Bank website at https://fundraise.vtfoodbank.org/GMRPCA_2022. The process is secure, fast and easy.

Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts’ Golden Wrench Scholarship.

Since 2010 the VAE has honored junior high school students in automotive technology programs for their hard work, dedication and knowledge in the field by awarding Golden Wrench Scholarships. The scholarships include a set Mac Tools valued around $600 along with other auto related materials.

To make a donation to the Golden Wrench please mail your check payable to the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts at the below address. Please indicate that you are with GMR.
