Second Chances Garage, Inc.

At Second Chances Garage we put cars in the hands of low-income working individuals and families who do not have a car. Imagine for a moment your life without a car. Hard, isn’t it? Yet too many hard-working low-income Frederick families wake up every morning having to face life without a car, relying on the bus, expensive cabs or Lyft. Public transportation is inadequate. A 9 min car ride can take 45 minutes by bus. Imagine, if you were a single mom, getting your kids to daycare, then to work and maybe to FCC for classes. Think about making that all work without a car. The things we take for granted, like running out to the grocery store, going to appointments, taking the kids to after school activities, finding a better job or simply visiting friends or relatives becomes a major hurdle. We are a unique local nonprofit. We accept donations of used vehicles, refurbish them, and transform lives by giving those cars a second chance in the hands of those so much in need. To keep cars on the road so people can get to work, we also provide reduced-cost auto repair to low-income Frederick families. To continue and grow and transform lives we need your help. Without a car, opportunities are not just limited, many are simply unavailable.
