Orange County Chavivim Unveils KJ-502 — Chavivim's Fifth Vehicle, Division's First

Featured vehicle: KJ-502 — Ford Explorer

Sunday afternoon, Orange County Chavivim unveiled KJ-502 — the fifth vehicle in the Chavivim network, and the first fleet vehicle assigned to the Orange County division.

Built to Answer Every Call

KJ-502 is a Ford Explorer dressed in full Chavivim livery, fully equipped with every tool our volunteers need to assist the community when the radio goes off — from jumpstarts and lockouts to recovery operations and special-event support.

With KJ-502 on the road, Orange County now has its own dedicated vehicle — fully equipped to run calls across the county around the clock.

A Ribbon-Cutting with the Whole Crew

Members, askanim, and supporters gathered in the lot for the unveiling — a quick ribbon cut, a few words, and the new car officially in service.

It was a moment to recognize what the team has built — and an even bigger moment for the families and drivers who'll get help faster because of it.

Words from the Coordinator

Our coordinator addressed members and supporters under the Chavivim banner, thanking the volunteers, families, and sponsors who made the new vehicle possible.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

This vehicle exists because of the partners who stepped up to help fund it. A huge thank-you to United Roadside and Ateam Cleaning for sponsoring KJ-502 and helping put another fully-loaded car on the road for our community.

First of Many

KJ-502 put Orange County on the map as a full division with its own dedicated vehicle — and it wasn't the last. Every vehicle added means shorter response times and more calls covered. This one started it for the division.
