Melody Treviño initially began her involvement with IFM Denton as a temporary caseworker back in 2003.
It wasn't until 2006 that she was called to fill the role as a full-time employee. Since then, Melody has become an integral part of the IFM team acting as a liaison between our clients and the services that we provide. Melody is one of the most recognizable faces of our organization who, everyday, is a giver of hope and a source of comfort to the clients we serve.
T
his month we honor the hard work and dedication that Melody has shown over the past 10 years and happily celebrate the anniversary of adopting a very special and hardworking member into our family at IFM.

How the Charity Cars Program Started
|
Over the past nine years, Interfaith Denton Charity Cars (IDCC) has raised $150,000 for IFM.
Many sweat hours were contributed at the front end of what has become a very successful and long-term fundraising program for IFM. Back then, folks volunteered to clean and photograph newly donated vehicles.
Just recently we switched to an all-in-one service through Insurance Auto Auctions' (IAA) Donation Division. IAA tows the vehicle at no charge, sells it at auction, gives the donor a sales receipt for tax deduction purposes and IFM receives most of the proceeds.
Did you know you can donate more than just old cars? You can also donate:
| boats |
heavy equipment |
| motorcycles |
personal watercraft |
| snowmobiles |
trucks |
If you would like to donate, please contact IAA at 1-800-269-6814 and be sure to mention your donation is for Interfaith Ministries.
