One of the most common questions we are often asked is "what can I do to help?"

Chances to have a part in preserving history happen once-in-a-lifetime, and for many people, it can be frustrating to be so far away.  And, we have all been ask to give donations before by various groups.  Well, it is true - money is a BIG part of what makes projects like this work.  These materials are not cheap, and if we are to do it right, we have to be willing to pay the price.

Still, we get it.  Not everyone who wants to help can give money or is comfortable doing so when you are not sure how that donation is being used.

That is one of the purposes of this website  We assure you that any financial donation will go toward Lucky Thirteen's restoration, and here you can now keep track of just where that money is being used.

If you want to go a step farther, we are willing to show you the way.  Rather than make a financial donation, if you want to donate actual parts, we would be happy to show you exactly what it is we need.

That is the purpose of our websites Parts Drives  On this page we list items associated with a certain areas of Lucky Thirteen.  As the parts come in, either from you or from our own purchases, the parts will be checked off the list below.  Furthermore, we will make sure the world knows who was responsible for donating each piece as they come in.  It is only right to give credit where credit is due.

Similarly, the Parts Drives serves as valuable resource for our volunteers, keeping track of projects by notating blueprints to make them easier to find.

Happy hunting!
