Established in 1996, Charity Cars, Inc. is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to provide a vehicle and vehicle support services to assist disadvantaged families in their transition from dependency to self-sufficiency. The Charity Cars program provides a vehicle that has been refurbished to insure safety and reliability, a license plate, the down-payment for insurance, an emergency roadside assistance membership, a service warranty, and case management services to families willing to work. Accountability plays an important role in the program.
Vehicles are registered and titled in the recipient’s name; however, Charity Cars retains a lien on each vehicle for a period of one year so the vehicle cannot be sold. Recipients must be employed within thirty days upon the receipt of a vehicle and must remain employed throughout the lien period. Additionally, contractual obligations require recipients to maintain car insurance and to participate in follow-up case studies. Website: http://www.800charitycars.org/ |
