Not a fixer, just a friend in faith

1. Donate a Car

Your unused or extra vehicle can become a life-changing gift. We’ll handle the towing at no cost to you, make necessary repairs, and ensure the car is safe and reliable. Once ready, the vehicle is matched with a vetted recipient—someone whose life and opportunities will be transformed through transportation

2. Give Funds

3. Mentor

Make a lasting impact by walking alongside a car recipient as a mentor. You’ll provide encouragement, share life skills and spiritual guidance, and be a consistent voice of support during their journey. This role is about more than advice—it’s about connection, accountability, and helping someone feel seen and supported

4. Volunteer

Join our team of hands-on helpers by serving in a variety of roles. From assisting with application processing, helping at outreach or distribution events, supporting vehicle inspections and mechanical work, to teaching in our faith-based driving school—there’s a place for every skill and schedule. Your time moves lives forward.

5. Partner Your Church

Churches can play a key role by becoming referral sources and discipleship partners. Through this partnership, churches help identify families in need and offer spiritual mentoring and follow-up support. It’s a way for congregations to live out the Gospel, meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of their community.
