Impact

Taquon purchased a safe and reliable vehicle for his family through Working Wheels.

The Importance of Transportation

In the United States, car ownership and economic success go hand in hand. A recent study by Dr. David A. King makes the argument that car access plays a key role in allowing Americans to lift themselves out of poverty.

Car ownership is also strongly correlated with better health outcomes. In a study of families in 12 Western North Carolina counties, Dr. Thomas Arcury found that those who were able to drive themselves were able to see their healthcare providers twice as often as those who were not.

Anecdotally, we know that vehicles from Working Wheels allow our program participants to work more hours, choose from a wider selection of available housing options, take themselves and their families to appointments, and spend more time with their loved ones.

Donate Time (Volunteer Interest Form)

I'm in recovery with 22 months clean. I messed my life up while using. I lost everything including my kids. Since getting clean, I've regained custody of them and held down continuous employment. Owning my own vehicle would make my day-to-day activities much more doable.
