A message from our President:
|
|
Picture this…you’re commuting home, stuck in traffic on the beltway, and
IT
happens. The moment you’ve dreaded since purchasing your vehicle – the “service required” warning light appears on your dashboard. You take it to the nearest shop and...
Sincerely,
Martin "Marty" Schwartz

Women and Wheels a GREAT Success
|
|
This past Saturday, Vehicles for Change and the Full Circle Auto Repair & Training Center hosted Women and Wheels REBOOT, a hands-on, interactive workshop designed to empower and educate women about their vehicles.
Our attendees learned how to change a tire, safely use jumper cables, what fluids to keep tabs on, warning signs of when it's time for new brake pad/rotors and more!
Best yet? 100% of attendees said they walked away feeling more confident about their cars! Is your company or organization interested to support an upcoming Women and Wheels? Contact Simone Baptiste, communications director, at 410-242-9674 or
SBaptiste@vehiclesforchange.org
to learn ways to get involved!

Congratulations, Ivorie and James!
|

Since 1999, Vehicles for Change has awarded more than 6,300 low-cost vehicles to low-income families throughout Baltimore and beyond, changing the lives of 22,000 people and counting.
|
|
One of our most recent recipients, Ivorie, is a mother of three. She currently lives in Harford County and commutes more than 40 miles to Amazon, a three-hour bus trip. But no more, thanks to her newly awarded Chevy Malibu!
|
|
James is a hard-working father with a passion for restorative construction, computer science and learning new things.
Currently working in construction, James' commute has now been cut down to 15 minutes thank to his "new" 2003 Jeep Cherokee!

Parents or Grandparents have an unused vehicle?
|
|
|
|
As our parents and grandparents age, there comes a time when they no longer use their car. If that's the case in your family, we invite you to donate your loved one's unused or unwanted vehicle to our organization!
Our tow truck drivers come to you,
pick-up is free
and the car's owner will earn a tax deduction for the fair market value of the vehicle.
