Free Cars for Single Moms in Minnesota

The Gift That Keeps Moms Moving

Many times, single mothers can struggle just to get by. That's why the Newgate School is proud to offer free cars for single moms who qualify for our Wheels for Women program.

In Minnesota, the Newgate School is changing lives one car at a time. The Wheels for Women program symbolizes hope for single mothers struggling with transportation issues. This initiative is not just about providing a set of wheels; it's working toward driving positive change and offering single moms the independence they need to improve their lives and those of their children.

The Roadblocks of Transportation

The lack of a car can be a significant barrier for low-income workers, particularly single moms. Navigating multiple daily tasks, like getting to work, grocery shopping, and picking up children from daycare, becomes a nearly impossible task when reliant solely on public transport. This is where the Newgate School's Wheels for Women program comes into play, offering a lifeline to those in need via free cars for single moms in Minnesota.

Wheels For Women Program

Donate Your Car to Newgate

The Wheels for Women Initiative

The Newgate School's program stands out by offering free cars for single moms in Minnesota. By repurposing donated vehicles and refurbishing them as part of their automotive mechanic training program, they provide reliable transportation to qualified applicants. The program aids single mothers and contributes to environmental sustainability by giving unused cars a second chance.

Driving Change with Your Unused Vehicle

The Wheels for Women program relies heavily on car donations to continue its mission. Donating your unused vehicle can be a hassle-free process that clears your driveway and offers substantial tax benefits. The Newgate School ensures a simple transfer of your title and guides you through the paperwork necessary for your tax credit.

Eligibility and Application

To be eligible for a free car from the Wheels for Women program, applicants must meet certain criteria, such as residency in the appropriate Minnesota counties, being a single mother with a dependent child, maintaining full-time employment, and having a lack of current vehicle ownership. Prospective recipients can apply through a secure form on the Wheels for Women website, with the Newgate School reviewing and verifying the information provided.

Expanding Horizons: The 12 Moms of Christmas Event

Beyond their ongoing program, the Newgate School's Wheels for Women has also partnered with local dealerships for the "12 Moms of Christmas" initiative. This heartwarming event brought joy to twelve single mothers, not only with the gift of transportation but also with a treasure trove of Christmas gifts and service vouchers, enhancing the festive season for these families.

The Gift of Mobility

For single mothers in Minnesota, the gift of a car from the Wheels for Women program represents access to better job opportunities, the ability to participate more fully in community life, and the chance to provide for their children's needs without the stress of unreliable transportation.
