LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) -

Toyota has announced that the Family Crisis Center of East Texas is the Day 73 winner of a new vehicle.

FCC was up for consideration on Wednesday and was against four other non-profit organizations for the votes at 100carsforgood.com.

Just before voting closed Wednesday, FCC had a 20-percent lead on the next-closest competitor.

"Everyone here at the Family Crisis Center of East Texas is thrilled that we have been selected as one of the recipients of a new Toyota vehicle," said Heather Kartye, Executive Director of the Family Crisis Center of East Texas.  "The outpouring of support from the community during this process has been overwhelming."

A reception is planned for when the vehicle, a Sienna Mobility, is delivered.  More details on the reception will be announced at a later date.
