Changing Lives,
One Car at a Time!
CARS CHANGING LIVES works directly with local non-profits to give donated vehicles to someone in need. Case managers, non-profits or church representatives in our service area with a client in need of a vehicle can apply.
OUR MISSION: To provide a person in need with a free, safe & reliable vehicle which will greatly improve their life.
HOW WE WORK: Eligible candidates must be actively working with a case manager or church representative of an area non-profit, community organization or church. These representatives assist the candidate with their transportation needs.
By the Numbers
Our Goal — Give one car a month (12 per year). The more cars we receive, the more we can give to someone in need.
