Our Mission: To provide a vehicle at no cost every year to a person in need.

Needs

Where your donation goes:

1. Funds are raised throughout the year by community donations and by commission donations from our founder, Mike Columbus.

2. Individuals in need apply during open registration in the early months of each year. A selection committee narrows down three candidates.

3. The nonprofit members vote, select, and present a free car to the selected applicant!

We have seen lives CHANGED. Parents who can now support their kids’ medical needs, firefighters who had no accessible options to buy a car during the pandemic, and individuals who were able to get out of shelters and into good paying jobs all because we broke down the barriers of accessing transportation.

Your donation, big or small, helps us break down barriers for more people in our community. Will you help us today?
