HOW IT WORKS

Donations
Vehicles are donated through the generosity of individuals, as well as partnering corporations and nonprofit organizations.

Vehicles for Change is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve economic and personal independence through reliable transportation and automotive workforce training. Once an individual or organization chooses to donate a vehicle, they will be contacted by a towing company, which will pick up the car within a week. We make any necessary repairs, handle all tax

People helping people. This is what community looks like.

On April 29th, Cheryl R. Hickox, Jim Ries, and Lori Connolly hosted the 4th Annual Nonprofit Showcase at Vehicles for Change, bringing together 15 incredible area nonprofits under one roof. It was a morning of connection, collaboration, and of course, coffee.

Every year this event gets bigger and bigger, highlighting the power of partnerships and the impact we can make when we come together to support one another.

Grateful for every organization, partner, and community member who showed up to make this event so meaningful. Thank you to mds photography for capturing these moments!
