Released on December 20, 1999
Citizens All of Moose Jaw received an early Christmas gift from SGI today - a
1997 Dodge van. SGI President Larry Fogg today handed over the keys to the 11-
passenger van to the Moose Jaw non-profit association. SGI will also cover the
van's registration for one year.
"I am happy to be making this donation to Citizens All, just in time for
Christmas," Fogg said. "SGI's supply of salvage vehicles provides an excellent
opportunity to give back to the community. This van was received by SGI
Salvage needing some body work done. In the spirit of the Christmas season,
staff at SGI Claims Technical Services have worked to restore this van. I am
sure Citizens All will put it to good use."
Citizens All provides services for individuals in the Moose Jaw area with
challenging intellectual needs. The non-profit association operates four adult
group homes, and also runs three community-based programs that provide daily
support for individuals living independently in their own homes.
"I'd like to express my gratitude to SGI for this generous donation,"
President of the Board of Citizens All Association Liz King said . "This
vehicle will certainly enhance the ability of Citizens All to be fully involved
in the many activities offered in the community. The next step for Citizens
All will be to make the vehicle wheelchair accessible."
"Citizens All has been providing a much-needed service to the Moose Jaw
community for over 25 years," Fogg said. "The work these professionals do
every day gives individuals with intellectual disabilities the chance to enjoy
and participate in a full community life. We hope the donation of this vehicle
will help Citizens All continue their great efforts."
