Chris's family will leave their transportation troubles behind with this 2014 Mazda 5! Please join us in wishing them well on the road ahead.

He said, "It will make a huge difference for my family to have this vehicle. We're looking forward to the next chapter of life, which could not happen without you."

"Freedom and stability" are what a donated car represents to Paultia's family.

To most orgs that accept car donations, your donated car represents a quick sale at auction that turns into a check. Maybe it becomes funding for an important cause. But it's very unlikely it will become "freedom and stability" for a local family. That's what's different about Good News Garage, where we award donated cars directly to neighbors in need.

This week, Kristy and her children were awarded a small but mighty Kia Soul. 💪

With great gas mileage -- 35 miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway -- this capable yet efficient vehicle will be the perfect companion for summer travels, whether to work, school, sporting events, or to grab a cold ice cream cone. 🍦☀️

Please join us in applauding the donor of the car and wishing Kristy's family well on the road ahead! 👏💖

A generous donor passed us the keys to their stylish Jetta so that a neighbor in need could have a life-changing boost forward. 👏

Luis couldn't have been more enthusiastic for the opportunity to have his own vehicle. Whether he's going to his job as a server, visiting his grandson, or doing his daily errands, he can finally do it all on his own. 🚗

You probably already know this, but...

Good News Garage is one of only a handful of car-donation orgs in the entire country that awards donated cars to neighbors in need. 🌈🌟

Most of the "other guys" sell every car they receive to the highest bidder. 💰

If you know someone who's thinking about donating a car, steer them in the right direction! ↪️

You could have a hand in changing a neighbor's life. 👏

Megan gratefully accepted the keys to a shiny blue Rav 4, saying, "Thank you so much for the donation to Good News Garage. With this car, I can sign my son up for sports and other activities, and transport my pets to appointments, and take us on adventures! This will change our lives." 🥰🚗💖

One week ago, everything changed for Teresa and her two children—but the moment nearly slipped away.

The donor of the car they received could have chosen a large, national charity instead. We’re a small, locally based nonprofit, competing against organizations with multi-million-dollar advertising budgets. These orgs often rely on flashy tactics and broad promises to attract donations.

But here’s what many donors don’t realize -- in most cases, those vehicles are sold at auction, never going directly to someone in need.

Here at GNG, it’s different. Cars like the one Teresa received are repaired and given directly to families working hard to build a better future.

Now, Teresa can get to work on time, every time. Her children have a more consistent routine and a brighter future. What once felt uncertain now feels possible.

And it's all possible because the car donor made a thoughtful decision about where they wanted their car to go, and believed in what it could do in the right hands. 👏

Dad adventure checklist: Snacks? Check. Water? Check. Taking the wrong turn but refusing to use GPS? Check.

"Dear Car Donor, thank you for the Honda Passport. This will help us keep up with appointments and stay on time for school and work. I am very thankful and appreciate the donation."

Help us keep dads rolling, no directions needed.

Let's pass your keys to a DAD in need!

Time to hang up the keys due to old age? 👎

Time to pass the keys to a neighbor in need! 👍

States have many policies to stop risky older drivers from renewing their licenses. But in practice, it's often adult children who must decide when to take the car keys away from an aging parent.
