Vehicles for Change (VFC) is a nonprofit dedicated to helping low-income families overcome transportation barriers while providing career training in the automotive field.

Carroll Community College is proud to partner with VFC to bring this impactful program to Carroll County.

About the Partnership

Reliable transportation is essential for an improved quality of life. Through this partnership:

• Families gain access to affordable, reliable vehicles.
• Students & returning citizens benefit from career training in automotive & electric vehicle (EV) technology.
• The community sees greater workforce participation and financial stability.

Vehicles for Change Impact

Since 1999, VFC has:

• Positively impacted 26,000+ lives.
• Helped recipients increase earnings by an average of $7,000 per year.
• Reduced commutes by up to 90 minutes daily.

A donated car doesn’t just provide transportation—it transforms lives, opening doors to better jobs, access to healthcare, and more quality time with family.
