In this episode, host Janet Michael speaks with Sandy Long, co-founder of Cars Changing Lives, and Barbara Way, the executive director of the organization. Cars Changing Lives is a non-profit that provides free, safe, and reliable vehicles to people in need. The organization started in 2018 with Sandy's husband Bill's vision of giving away a car at Easter. Since then, they have given away 53 cars and received 171 donated vehicles, with the eventual goal of giving away one car every month.
Sandy and Barbara discuss the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the importance of reliable transportation for community members, and the critical role area nonprofits and churches play in referring candidates for car donations. They explain the process for donating cars, whether the vehicles are operational or need significant repairs, and emphasize the necessity of having a title for the donation.
Barbara highlights the importance of forming a strong board and volunteer base to support the growing needs of the organization. They also announce an upcoming dinner and music event on August 29th at the North Warren County Firehouse to raise funds.
They stress the ongoing need for car donations and financial support and discuss the impact of receiving a donated car on recipients’ lives. They invite listeners to learn more about the organization through their website, Facebook page, and upcoming community events.
