Let’s Get to Work!


Affordable Cars for Working People

We’re a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that provides
affordable used cars to working people in need.

Our awardees are primarily veterans, returning citizens, and single parents.

Car ownership gives our recipients a chance to get, keep, or grow a living-wage job!

We work closely with some of the best social services agencies that select “car-ready” candidates, and partner with vocational schools that refurbish our donated cars professionally and affordably.

Vehicles are carefully matched to suit the needs of each vetted applicant, ensuring they have a safe, reliable, and economical means of transportation.

Our car donors are able to deduct 100% of their car’s retail value—the highest car donation deduction in Massachusetts!

Can Your Car Help Someone Get to Work?

If your car is located in Eastern Massachusetts, is gently used, and has some life left in it, we want it!

Reach out about donating your car, even if your car needs repairs, as we can likely fix it through our partnerships with local auto repair shops and vocational schools!
