Helping put people on the road to a better future.

New Heights Auto Ministry

The lack of reliable transportation can bring a person’s promising future to a halt in our community.

But New Heights Auto Ministry is changing that.

We help financially strained individuals and families get back on the road to secure jobs, medical appointments, grocery stores, churches, schools and productive lives. By overcoming transportation challenges with vehicle repairs and maintenance, we strive to improve the emotional health of our community, breaking the damaging effects of social isolation and loneliness.

When available, New Heights Auto Ministry provides vehicle donations to qualified individuals who have employment, but no reliable means to get there.

We regret at this time our waitlist is currently closed, and New Heights Auto Ministry is unable to accept new applications.

    Donate a vehicle: all makes and models, cars & trucks, even if they don't run

    Your vehicle will be used to provide transportation to those in need. Priority is given to restoring donated vehicles for individuals requiring transportation; otherwise, they may be scrapped, salvaged, or auctioned to support the New Heights Auto Ministry.

    Safety is of utmost importance for our retail customers and ministry clients. So we ensure all donated vehicles are in tip-top shape when they are provided.

    Vehicle donations are tax deductible.
