Free Car Assistance is a nonprofit organization. If you need a receipt for tax purposes, please contact us before giving and we will confirm our current IRS status.
Why give to transportation
For many families, one repair bill or one missed bus can lead to a lost job. A few hundred dollars for a repair, a first insurance payment or a set of tires can keep a parent working and a family stable. That is why transportation help is one of the most practical ways to fight poverty.
