LEWISTON — They missed out on the Prius.
Up against four other nonprofits in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good competition on Saturday, Community Concepts didn’t earn enough votes to win the free vehicle to create a shared car program downtown.
Abused Women’s Aid in Crisis of Anchorage, Alaska won a Toyota Tundra instead.
Community Concepts had been picked out of 4,000 applications to be one of 500 agencies in the running for 100 cars. Five at a time are put to a community vote each day on Facebook. The most votes that day wins.
Joan Churchill, director of resource development at Community Concepts, said the group will receive $1,000 from Toyota as a runner-up. The money will go toward a community development staffer, she said.
