Al Dinon with wi

After ten years of volunteering for the Naperville
CARES Car Program, Al Dinon “retired” from the
program in January, 2010. Al has received over
1,000 donated cars and has worked with the over
450 clients who received donated cars from CARES
in our first ten years of operation. Al has always
stated that the hugs he receives from clients when
he has handed them the keys to their new car has
been all the payment he needed over the years.
