How We Work
- Categorized in: About Us
The primary mission of Wheels4Hope is to sell Program cars to qualified recipients who are referred by partner agencies. Recipients pay $500 for their car and are also responsible for title and transfer fees. In the process of providing affordable cars, Wheels4Hope also stands behind each program car with a 6-month warranty. Over 275 vehicles have been placed with low-income families and individuals in this manner.
The organization operates largely on income generated by the sale of donated vehicles that are inappropriate for program placement due to excessive mileage, high maintenance costs or other problems. Some of these vehicles are sold to the general public with full disclosure and others are sold to local dealers (see "public sales" for further details).
Additionally, significant support comes from volunteer mechanics and partner garages that provide labor to repair program cars at no cost to the organization.
Charitable gifts from individuals, congregations, corporations and foundations allow for the organization to invest in growth and capital opportunities to strengthen the impact of our mission.
