MORE INFORMATION
The Wheel Get There program accepts donated vehicles from the public and sells them to low income people at a discount.
The cost of the car varies with age, mileage, and potential to be a long-term solution. Every car destined for a low-income person is test-driven and an under-hood check performed, but most cars will need some work to be usable for daily transportation.
- Such cars work best for people who can either fix them themselves, or have a friend or family member who can do so for them.
