“We’re absolutely thrilled,” says Kairos founder Heather Subbert. “It's big enough that we can pile an entire group into one vehicle with a wheelchair or a walker because of the cargo space and go out into the world and do things like visiting nursing homes, taking flowers to seniors who are housebound, go to food banks and package food for families in need, serve at animals shelters. Before we had to take turns and this vehicle will allow another group to be out there impacting the world for good!"
