In Northern Kentucky, public transit covers a fraction of where people live and work.
For many working families, a car isn't a convenience — it's the only way to get to work.

When that car breaks down, the whole stack of progress can collapse: Missed shifts. A written warning. Then termination.
No job means no childcare subsidy. No childcare means no job search.

Samaritan Car Care Clinic exists to interrupt that spiral.
We repaired vehicles for 389 families last year.
We could help numerous more with additional support.

Every donated vehicle closes the gap.

No car to give? A cash donation funds the next repair, the next placement, the next family.

Jennifer, a Life Learning Center - Northern Kentucky referral, was able to obtain a new-to-her vehicle through the St. Vincent de Paul - Northern Kentucky microloan program and the Samaritan Car Care Clinic. Through this partnership, referred neighbors are able to obtain affordable and reliable transportation.
This program is only made possible by generous vehicle donations and financial donations that support the needed car repairs.
Many thanks to the volunteers at SVdPNKY that help support the microloan program for neighbors in need!

Your car doesn't need to run to make a difference.
Samaritan Car Care Clinic accepts non-running vehicles in Northern Kentucky.
We can arrange a tow pickup for a donated car. Our mechanics assess what it needs.
If it can be made road-safe for a local family, we make it happen.

No cost to you. Tax-deductible receipt provided.
No junkyard negotiation. No Marketplace listing. No strangers in your driveway.

Just one call and it's gone — to somewhere it can do some good.

St. Vincent de Paul - Northern Kentucky and the Samaritan Car Care Clinic recently teamed up to help SVdPNKY single mom and neighbor, Amelia M., obtain a new-to-her vehicle.

The Clinic received a donated Honda Accord that definitely had life left in it. After some repairs and maintenance, Amelia was able to use a SVdPNKY microloan to buy the Accord from the Clinic.

In Amelia’s own words, she “could not find a car for thousands of dollars more that didn’t then need thousands of dollars in repairs.” Thank you to all who donate to the Clinic and make these good news stories possible!
