This program provides safe, reliable transportation to economically vulnerable families and individuals who are referred to us by one of our partner agencies. We understand that reliable transportation in Montana is a vital component for self-sufficiency, the care of children, stable employment, and the pursuit of education.
This program is only made possible through the contributions of our supporters, volunteer labor, and partner businesses. You can contribute to this program by volunteering time, services or supplies. We are looking to partner with more businesses and individuals to assist with mechanical repairs, body work and detailing in order to provide clean, safe, functional, and essential vehicles to more Montana families.

We can't provide a reliable vehicle for every family in need of one. That's why we are working on assembling a community of volunteers to be available to offer counsel and provide information and options on how to acquire a vehicle without being taken advantage of or going into debt. Coming soon!
