People in our immediate community struggle every day to keep their lives in balance. A car serves to get you to work, the grocery store, the doctor, and in various other life needs. Generally, it serves to keep a family moving forward. For one-car families struggling to make ends meet, the loss of a car can be devastating. Our Cars ministry was created to provide these families with reliable transportation that can help provide financial stability and safety.
Donate a Car
Donating is easy! We accept cars, trucks, and vans in working condition that can be brought to our Franklin location. Donors must also provide a clean title. You are provided with a written acknowledgement of your donation for tax purposes. For safety, donated vehicles are repaired, test-driven, and inspected prior to being given. Depending on the condition, some vehicles are salvaged or sold. Any resulting proceeds go directly to our Cars Ministry! We are always in need of more donations - click below to get started.
Need
The main goal of the Cars Ministry is to give a person/family a car as a “leg-up” or next step to move forward, not to enable them to stay where they are. Transportation to and from employment is often key to someone struggling, helping them to get back on their feet. Some basic criteria needed to submit a request are: a valid/unrestricted TN driver's license, TN residency, and proof of employment for the last year. If you are in need of a vehicle and meet the above criteria, please click the link below to submit a request. (Due to high demand, not all who qualify will be invited to participate in our application process.)
Volunteer
Cars Ministry relies on staff leaders and a capable volunteer team to navigate the needs of the ministry. Diagnostics and major repairs are contracted out to our professional partners, with help from volunteers for light repairs and cleanings. Our ministry team conducts applicant qualification interviews, determining which applicants receive vehicles. To volunteer, click below to email us.
