Every vehicle has a story, and every story reminds us why transportation matters.
Today, Tina received a vehicle through Second Chances Garage after being referred through the United Way of Frederick County, Maryland Pathways to Transportation program. Like many people in our community, reliable transportation had become a daily challenge. Getting to work often meant long walks and limited transportation options, making even routine responsibilities difficult.
Now, Tina has dependable transportation to get to work, attend appointments, and spend time with family. The vehicle provides greater flexibility, independence, and the ability to stay connected to the people and opportunities that are important to her.
We are grateful to United Way, Wells House, our donors, volunteers, and community partners who help make stories like Tina's possible. Together, we are giving second chances to vehicles and the people who need them.
Your donation, their second chance.

Super cool!
“I can now start to save money.”
Today, Dawn received her Second Chances Garage program vehicle.
Through our partnership with Advocates for Homeless Families, Frederick, MD, Dawn has been working hard to build a stronger foundation for herself and her children. She recently started a new job and is focused on creating stability and opportunity for her family.
When asked what having a vehicle means to her, Dawn shared, “I can now start to save money.”
Reliable transportation will help her get to work, support her children’s activities, attend appointments, and spend time with her oldest son. It also opens the door to creating special family memories, including a long-awaited trip to the beach.
Congratulations, Dawn! We are excited to see where the road ahead takes you and your family. 💙
A huge thank you to The Women's Giving Circle of Frederick County, Maryland for contributing funds towards the refurbishment Dawn’s vehicle. And to Churchill Auto Care - Auto Repair for supporting the repair.
It’s a great day at Second Chances Garage!
Your donation, her second chance!

These bows are peacefully waiting for their next photo opportunity!
Each one represents a fresh start, a new opportunity, and a neighbor gaining reliable transportation. The only thing missing is the vehicle they’ll soon be wrapped around.
Will your donated vehicle be the next one to wear a bow?
