Vehicles for Change

Vehicles for Change (VFC) is a non-profit organization that addresses social determinants of health by providing affordable transportation to low-income families. The organization operates a unique model where donated cars are refurbished by interns in an automotive training program for individuals re-entering the workforce, particularly ex-offenders. These vehicles are then awarded to eligible families at a low cost, enabling them to access better employment, education, and healthcare services. By bridging the transportation gap, VFC significantly improves health outcomes related to medical appointment adherence and access to pharmacies and healthy food options.
