New Classrooms for Christian Service

SHARE:

My Brother’s Keeper trucks and vans are more than delivery vehicles. They are tools we use to involve hundreds of students each year in Christian service.

Like “classrooms on wheels,” they allow our staff to use experiences on the road as “teachable moments” which inspire young people to be their brother’s keeper.

Our new location in Dartmouth means our fleet must grow from 6 vehicles to 9 by adding 2 trucks and a van. The newest “classroom” is pictured below: a four-door, seven-passenger truck with a 16-foot cargo box.

“As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we feel so blessed to be entrusted with such an incredible truck, especially when we think back to ‘The Green Monster’ and our humble beginnings,” said Erich Miller, president of My Brother’s Keeper.

“The new vehicles will allow us to serve thousands of families in Christ’s name in the coming years and the extra seating capacity will allow us to involve so many more volunteers in our work. Think of all the seeds which will be planted!”

It’s been our tradition for the past two decades to name our trucks after saints. The first truck is named ‘St. Thomas’ in memory of Tom Flatley of The Flatley Foundation and Tom Yawkey of The Yawkey Foundation. The second truck is named ‘St. James’ in memory of James M. Salah of The Salah Foundation. All three foundations are key supporters of our expansion to the South Coast.
