I read an article in yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle about Zipcar, a car-sharing service that has started letting workers at some local nonprofits drive its cars for free. The article cites Big Brothers Big Sisters, Visual Aid, 826 Valencia, Meals on Wheels, Friends of the Urban Forest, AIDS Walk San Francisco, and Imagine Bus as local charities that have benefitted from the company's donated car service. Zipcar has operations in 25 U.S cities with the San Francisco site emerging as its philanthropic leader. Other community groups that received this neat service can be found on the company's web site.
Since I'm on the car-sharing theme I also want to mention a local nonprofit service, City CarShare. Both look like excellent organizations.
