Second Chance Cars was honored on Veterans Day as the recipient of a prestigious Newman’s Own $30,000 grant in conjunction with the Fisher House Foundation and Military Times.
With over 330 organizations competing, we were one of only six 2020 recipients recognized for our work in support of veterans, military service members and their families. The selection committee was especially impressed with our innovative partnerships with local vocational schools that help us to refurbish our donated cars affordably and professionally.
To compete and to win such a prestigious grant (and during our first full year of operation no less) is a pleasant shock and an affirmation of our model and work. We are grateful to Newman’s Own, The Newman’s Own Foundation, Fisher House Foundation and Military Times.
A special thank you goes to our car donors and the many many partners that make up our Community of Goodness, and who have all made this award possible.
