Keep a neighbor on the road.
Your gift covers oil, filters, brake pads, batteries, and the small parts our volunteer technicians use up over a service day. Every dollar goes straight into the parts cabinet for the next family.

What your gift buys
The coop is volunteer-labor, so a little goes a long way. Here’s a rough sense of what we go through on a typical service day:
$25
An oil-and-filter change for one family’s daily driver.
$60
A new car battery, installed and tested, for someone who’s been jumping it for months.
$120
A full set of brake pads + rotors on a midsize sedan or pickup.
$300
Restocks our parts cabinet for an entire service day.
Other ways to give
Money isn’t the only way to keep the coop running. We also welcome:
Parts and supplies
New or unopened consumables — oil, filters, wipers, fluids, bulbs. Email us before bringing.
Tools
Good-condition hand tools, jack stands, torque wrenches. Specialty tools welcome too.
Time
The most valuable gift. Sign up on the Volunteer page if you have mechanical skills.
A bag of coffee
Seriously. Drop it off the morning of a service day; the volunteers will thank you.
Tax receipts
AdventistGiving issues a tax receipt automatically after your online gift. If you’re donating parts, tools, or a check made out to Pendleton SDA Church, the church office handles the receipt — just ask when you drop it off.
Pendleton Seventh-day Adventist Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in good standing.
