Driving Hope, One Mile at a Time
At Car Care Program, we believe that transportation is more than just a way to get from point A to point B — it’s a vital connection to work, school, healthcare, and basic needs. Without reliable transportation, families face impossible barriers to providing for themselves, caring for their loved ones, and pursuing new opportunities.
That’s where we come in. Since 2013, Car Care Program has been serving families across Douglas, Pope, Stevens, and Otter Tail Counties, providing affordable car repairs, vehicle donations, and hands-on education programs that empower individuals to take control of their futures.
We believe that your story isn’t finished yet. Every person deserves the chance to re-write their story, to experience the freedom that comes with safe, reliable transportation, and to discover the God-given purpose and hope that lies ahead.
Our Mission
We are on a mission to remove transportation barriers for families and individuals who need a helping hand. Whether it’s through a repaired vehicle, a donated car, or a youth training opportunity, we exist to help people move forward — literally and figuratively.
Our Values

Our God Story
At Car Care Program, we don’t just see cars — we see the stories, struggles, and dreams of the people behind the wheel. We know that reliable transportation can be the difference between hope and despair, between holding on and giving up.
We are here to help you re-write your God Story — to show you that your story isn’t over, and God isn’t done with you yet. With every repair, every donated car, and every student who finds their purpose under the hood, we see God at work — and we’re honored to be part of it.
