Wheels4Hope, a nonprofit that refurbishes cars for placement with families in need of transportation, recently completed the transfer of a fifth vehicle to a local recipient. The placement comes less than one year after the first car’s transfer in December 2014.

Here is the full release from Wheels4Hope:

Wheels4Hope in Asheville is gaining speed and building momentum! We have received 28 donated vehicles and have repaired and placed 5 with local families who were desperately in need of safe, reliable transportation.

Wheels4Hope is a faith-based, non-profit organization that refurbishes donated cars and matches them with economically vulnerable people who need them. We do this because we know that reliable transportation is a critical piece of the puzzle to survive and thrive in this community.

Our innovative model bolsters the work of our trusted partners (Homeward Bound, Helpmate, Habitat for Humanity, and Community Action Opportunities), by placing the vehicles with their clients – the ones they believe need them the most.
