This van will soon be given to a local family in need of dependable transportation. Before that happens, our volunteers and staff are working through the vehicle to make sure it is safe, reliable, and ready to get back on the road.

For many of the families we serve, a vehicle is much more than a convenient way to get around. Reliable transportation can mean being able to get to work, take children to school, make medical appointments, buy groceries, and handle all the everyday things that are difficult—or sometimes impossible—without a car.

That’s where Rolling Start comes in.

We rely on donated vehicles and the support of people in our community to make this work possible. Some donated vehicles need only a little attention before they can be placed with a family. Others require considerably more work. Either way, every vehicle we can put back on the road has the potential to make a real difference in someone’s life.

You Can Help Keep Us Rolling

There are several ways you can be part of what we do:

• Donate a vehicle. A car, truck, van, or SUV you no longer need may be exactly what a local family needs. Even vehicles that need repairs may be useful to our program.
• Donate your time. Volunteers help us with vehicle repairs and maintenance as well as many of the other jobs that keep Rolling Start operating.
• Make a financial contribution. Parts, fluids, tires, batteries, towing, and other expenses add up. Financial donations help us turn donated vehicles into safe, dependable transportation.

Every donation—whether it is a vehicle, a few hours in the shop, or financial support—helps us get another family closer to reliable transportation.

Want to help? Donate a vehicle, volunteer your time, make a financial contribution—or just come see what we do. Stop by the Rolling Start shop on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. at 244 Weldon Hall Road in Sylva, NC. Meet the people behind Rolling Start, see the work happening in the shop, and find out how you can help us get more families on the road.
