Established in 1996, The Original 1-800-Charity Cars is a 501(C) (3) non-profit charity with its stated mission “To engage in activities that will uplift humanity”. The organization’s main focus is to provide free donated vehicles to struggling families to assist them in their transition from dependency to self-sufficiency. They are considered the pioneers of the free car-ownership concept. Their entrepreneurial organization is totally self-sufficient and succeeds without a penny of government funding.
Struggling families nationwide apply for a free charity car at the organization’s car distribution website. Their website was designed to make the process of choosing who receives a free vehicle as fair as possible by providing a forum where individuals can engage the public and pro-actively pursue their dream of car-ownership. FCC members invest “sweat equity” by voting for others and promoting the charity. The website also provides the charity with the ability to quickly identify qualified recipients in communities nationwide and to match each donated vehicle with each prospective applicant’s specific need. Surprisingly, the unique website has organically morphed into an ever expanding, caring online community offering compassion and hope to struggling Americans.
How It Works
[include id=”68″ title=”AD – Posts Links 200×90″]
Step 1 – Create Your Profile
Creating your profile is fun, fast and free. This is an opportunity to tell the world your story. Explain why you are the most deserving candidate* and why everyone should vote for you. You can make us laugh…or you can make us cry. Either way, don’t hold anything back…let it all hang out!
* Even if you don’t need a Free Charity Car you can create a profile, vote and promote, and transfer your votes to a deserving friend.
Step 2 – Generate Votes & Promote
Generating votes is crucial to receiving a Free Charity Car. By generating votes your profile attains a higher page rank, thus moving you up the list to have your application reviewed when a donated vehicle becomes available in your area. The process of generating votes and promoting FCC “pays it forward” by spreading the word and increasing the popularity of our website which leads to additional vehicle donations that can be awarded to our neighbors, and maybe… even to you. The more you help others… the more you help yourself. Remember, we’re all in this together… we are all one.
Step 3 – Bond With Supportive Friends & Apply for a Free Charity Car
The Free Charity Cars website is a caring online community offering compassion and hope. Our loving members form special bonds and support one another through life’s toughest challenges. Many members report that they find the process of simply sharing their story very therapeutic. As you develop friendships and vote for others, you receive votes in return. The very act of daily voting for others creates good karma for you, and serves as an affirmation of love and hope for the recipient of that vote. By voting and promoting you will improve your profile’s page rank, help others, and be at the forefront to be selected to have your application reviewed when a vehicle is donated in your area.*
* Free Charity Cars usually reviews the applications of top ranked members first so keep generating votes and always stay active on the site.

Kimberly says
I to am in need of a car being 22 with a 5 year old now and there for having people on the bus always smelling like liquor and weed not having any consideration for children it’s rough. I don’t want my child exposed to that at a young age. Plus she’ll be starting school soon and it would be nice not having a drunk breath in her face every time we take a bus.

alexandra says
Hi, I currently left my boyfriend of only a short amount of time because it was a bad relationship and I didn’t want my son growing up thinking that it was OK to disrespect one another.we bought a house together but it was under his name and now I have no right to the home , he’s asking me to leave and I honestly have no where to go. I just got a job a couple weeks ago and I am planning on squeezing myself and my son in my mom’s house where there is no space for either one of us. My job is really far from my mother’s house and I have no way of taking myself to work or my son to child care which means I’ll ultimately lose my job that I soo hard looked for. A car would help me take my first steps as a single mother.
Beverly says
Hi, like so many single moms out there, I too am in need of a car for me and my babygirl. I was going to post a picture of my current vehicle (which has been called a deathtrap by mechanics), but my camera’s battery is dead. So, maybe tomorrow. Well, my story is that I have bipolar and am single mom, and my relationship with my ex-husband has ended about 4 years ago. And even though it has hard (hell, who am I kidding, it nearly broke me a couple of times), we still remain friends and try to help each other out. He’s a great dad, we but love our daughter very much, the relationship just didn’t work out.
I do feel as if my battle with BP (that’s what I like to call it) is stable and that I can finally live a “normal” life. It shows cause I’ve recently finish a dress that I started before my daughter was born and before the divorce. So, that alone shows that things are going better and that I’m in a healthier place. My FB quote for this morning was: The battle has been won, the blessings will come.
So, if you please can bless me and my daughter with a car (hopefully a SUV, Lol), it will be much much much appreciated.
Lots of love and God bless.
Beverly
Shianna Clark says
I just want to say I know there is a God he watches over me and my family daily. I am so blessed and very thankful for my church family. Things in my life are tough I’m 17 years old I was our hometown Miss Teen Ohio County Beauty Queen, Miss Strawberry Queen, Miss October fest Queen, and Miss Teen Rosine and never thinking having sex one time unprotected would I ever get pregnant. The father of my unborn son was our hometown football star we are both seniors in High School not in a relationship with each other. He does not see the importance of being a good role model for our baby. I was brought up in church and I want the best for my son and myself. Both my parents have always worked and worked hard to give me and my siblings a great life. I only like two credits from graduating high school. I have decided to graduate early so I can go to college in the fall 2014. My baby is due date is December 27th 2014. My mom has already talked to the college and I will be enrolled in Mr Jim’s Beauty College this fall 2014. I have had my permit for almost a year but no car my parents transport me to school and all doctor visits. If anyone could help me with a car it would be a wonderful blessing so I can move forward with school, taking my son to doctor appointments, and having transportation would be a new start in life for me and my unborn son. Thank you for taking the time to read what’s going on in my life. If you could please put me on your prayer list that I will continue to keep my faith no matter what satin throws at me I would appreciate it. Sincerely Shianna Clark, (Beaver Dam Ky)
Kaci Drake says
I am thankful for this site I believe that it is an amazing way to help mothers take care of their families by providing them with a car. I myself am in need of a vehicle. I am a 22 year old single mother of two beautiful little girls. A two year old and a two month old. I just ended a three year realationship with their father who has verbally and physically abused me the entire time we were together. He constantly did drugs and got our family kicked out of every place that we lived. Even out of shelters and transitional housing which was most resent resulting in the end of our relationship and all of us being homeless. I had to beg someone to pay for buss tickets to relocate myself and my daughters to the city some of my family lives in. But that’s not all, now my girls and I are staying with my parents and a brother of mine and occasionally his two boys in a one room motel kitchenette. No one in my family has a car at the moment, so transportation is messy. A vehical will help me to be able find a job and so I can get to and from that job so that I can support my children better. That way I can get us our own place to live where we are safe. Also a vehical will help to get my children to and from the doctor and other appointments. A vehilcal would also help me assist my family such as my mother get to and from work so that she can keep her job and find housing for the rest of the family. My ex used to take everything from us I.e. all of my money get rid of our things and get risk of our food. I pray and wish for a vehical so that I can be able to get on my feet and take care of my children better. I’m struggling and would like help if it can be given. Bless all for taking the time to read my story Ans why I need a vehical for my family. Thank you all.
Jessica Simeone says
I truly feel for you and your story. I am going through a very similar situation right now and have hit dead end after dead end and really have no where else to turn. I have no family support, no job due to lack of transportation, my kids even miss school some days because I can’t find rides to get them there. I’m also required to be in therapy once a week but I’m having trouble attending because I do not have a vehicle. To make matters worse I suffer from severe depression and have not left my house almost all winter due to not having a vehicle. Now that summer is approaching the kids are asking when we can start doing fun activities and the answer will always be “we have no way to get around”. I am currently in a bad relationship that started out better than amazing. He was everything my kids and I needed after their father, also a deadbeat, cheated on me, beat me and after 7 years we then filed for divorce. My current boyfriend turned out to be no better. Like the men in my past I have found yet another that sees no fault in verbally and sometimes physically abusing me and then tells my daughters that it’s “mommy’s fault”. I desperately do not want my girls growing up with this because I know first hand what their future will look like. Currently I’m on disability for a brain injury. My social security check covers just enough to keep us under this roof and the power on. I am trying every possible avenue I can think of in my state of Vermont but again I just keep hitting dead ends. Anyway thank you for sharing your story, I hope something happens for you soon! thank you for listening to mine. Take care and God bless.
Andrea Akbar says
If there is someone out there that needs the vehicle in my state more than me then I do ask God to send it their way.
My names Andrea (18yrs old) I have a 4 month old son named Dré who has been the light of my life since God blessed me with him. I just signed myself out of foster care in January. When I did that everyone looked at me like you’re going to be a statistical teen mom who left foster care. But that is not my plan. I have goals I wish to accomplish. I want to go to school for Nursing, I want to show my son that nothing will bring me down and that I will do anything to support him and keep him happy. I recieved my license February. Now in order to do what I have to I need to have a vehicle to get from point a to point b. Dré needs to go to daycare in order for me to go to school and work. I dont have a job right now because I have no ride there and no daycare due to lack of a car. I know God will bless me with something even if it isn’t through this program but anyhow I do hope someone sees my story and reaches out to me. I feel lonely out here
charla smith says
First off I would like to thank God for guiding me to this website for the opportunity to possibly win a vehicle. This would be a great blessing for me and my two boys. I am a single who is striving for a better life for me and my children. I`ve just lost my job due to a unreliable babysitter which caused me to lose my job. I have no income and live in a town with no public transportation or anyone that will help. I’m not the kind of mother that wants to sit on her behind I need a job quick and fast and in a hurry while bills pile up and the stress of my health from having diabeties I need transportation to get to appointment’s and the stress of heartache from men not being there as they should the deadbeat father that does not lift a finger to see or provide for are children. I am so worried about my children becoming a statistic from being fatherless children, a vehicle could be provide transportation for my children to be involved in positive activities, help me to find a job and to get back and fourth to a job, to make health and doctor appointments for me and children, and to gain independance, and to show and prove to my boys that you can do anything you put your mind to and I will do this by attending a school in the near future. If I am not the winner I know its because someone needed it more then I did and that’s a blessing in either way. If this agency cannot help me I just ask if there is any other resources that can help in my state of P.A. I would like to thank you for the opportunity God bless to everyone that is really in dieing need of more then I am thank you
Sarah Musgrove says
Im at my breaking point I dont know what else to do. This looks like a site that could really help me with a car. At least i pray to God it is. My name is Sarah Musgrove I have a 3 year old son named Noah who is this light of my life. He is the reason i am trying so hard to succeed. I have no money and no car. I cant go back to school, I cant get a job, I cant get to the job even if I got one, and there is no bus fair where i live. Im literally stuck. My son is allowed to go to daycare only if i get it a job and i have only 2 more weeks to do so. I dont know what to do. Even though its a struggle finding him a way to get to daycare it is more than worth it! He is learning so much. So please im literally begging someone anyone to help me be a better mom and get a job and education so i can create stability for my son and I. I dont normally do this but I am leaving my phone number so please please call or tex me if you think you can help. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and if you cant help please just pray for me. Also if you want to meet in person to better decide if Im someone you want to help that would be fine with me.

Arielle says
I am a 21 year old single mother, Imy son is 2 years old. He is the best thing that ever happened to me! He changed my whole life, he made me a better person. The toddler years have gotten tough just like every mother can say, but mine are a little tougher considering I am only 4’11” and my son is already half my height! He comes up to my belly button, so tantrums and just bringing a sleeping baby up he stairs can be very difficult. But the most difficult challenge in our life right now is my car, it doesn’t have much life left in it, the Maine roads are killing it. I was just recently laid off from my waitressing job because there wasn’t enough business coming in because of the winter. I’ve been job searching like mad and have found no luck, thankfully I saved up a good amount of money, but that is only going to cover so much. There is so much wrong with my car now there is no point in even trying to fix it, and I don’t have the money right now to get a car, expect ally with no income coining in. Also I have no credit, because these days you need credit to get credit. My mother can be no help because she is to busy helping my 16 year old sister who has a 10 month old baby. I love that my mother can help her, but it sucks for me because my son and I just got pushed to the side because my sister was stupid enough to get pregnant after seeing everything I went through
All I want is what’s best for my son, I don’t want him to have to suffer or miss out on anything in life because I am a single mom. He is my world my everything. His father is an abusive drug addict who abused me and would even try to hit me with my son in my hands, while I would be working he would do drugs and drink while my newborn son was under his care. He would ask to take Jacob on drug runs so it would be less sketchy. I couldn’t let my son grow up around a man like that, so I packed up my stuff and moved to Maine where my father had recently moved to. It kills me that I had to leave my life, my friends, the heat, all the supportive people in my life just so my son and I could have a normal life. It’s not fair, but Jacob is my main concern and I know deep down what I did was best for him. All I want is to finish school work, and be able to give Jacob everything he deserves but I can’t do any of that without a reliable car.
If it wasn’t for my son I never would have found myself, I never would have grown up, I never would of found my back bone and left his father. I wouldn’t have graduated high school, I wouldn’t be as happy as I am right now without him. For as much as he has done for me, he deserves everything I can possibly do for him. He’s my miracle.

Amber says
I am a 19 year old single mom of two. I had to drop out of high school to raise my first child because I didn’t have the family or support to do both. I now have no high school education so nobody will hire me and I can get an GED or job if I could find one because I have no way. I have no source of income and barely make it. My children come first. I have no way to go to school or college and just need someone to give me a chance to make something for myself and children so they don’t have to grow up like I did struggling on a daily bases and going without so much that no child should ever have to. Thank you and god bless.

I get only&700 a month from Social security,not much to take care of 4 children. I really want to go to school to better my life for my children. I suffer from a social disorder which preventz me from riding on a bus. I really am trying to get a car so I can become independent and fullfill my goals and dreams. I hate depending others to take me and my children places. I cant wait till the day when me and my kids can just get in our car and do family stuff. Please consider me at a candidate for a car. Thanks
Lisa says
My name is Lisa. I am a single mother to six beautiful children. My ex husband is currently incarcerated after 18 years of severe emotional, mental,and physical abuse. I am currently unemployed, but at least we are blessed to have gotten into public housing. This has been a very hard road, and somedays all I do is cry until my kids come from school, I thank God for my children, and now I feel very bad for having them grow up seeing everything they did. I’m so ashamed of myself for putting up with everything I did for so long. I feel people look at me like I’m stupid and I deserved it. My children and I walk everywhere together, the grocery store, laundermat, school functions, doctors appointments. Now I’m not saying a car would be the answer to everything, but it would help my family in a big way. I have to find employment, I would really love to enroll in college, I have got to provide for my babies, something I should of done along time ago. A car would help out so much.

My name is Lisa. I am a survivor of domestic violence and now a single mother to six beautiful children. I was married to my ex for 18 years, and endured multiple physical, emotional and verbal attacks. It took me a long time to get help and leave this extremely bad situation. My ex is currently in prison, and my children and I we’re fortunate to get into low income housing. But right now I feel very unsure of everything, I’m battling so many different feelings. I’m ashamed of myself for putting my children though this, I can see that they are scarred because of my bad decisions. I am currently unemployed, I feel very useless and some days I cry all day until my children come home from school. When they get home I put on a brave face, and we go walking together to do our chores, grocery shopping, laundry, school programs and everything else you can imagine a family needs to do. I’m not saying a car is the answer in our situation, but I think it would be a big step in our new beginning..

raleena says
Hello,
I am a single mother with a 11 yr old daughter. We have lived house to house and been in shelters more than once. I was unemployed for a number of years. I have finally found a job but have been backed up on a number of bills and don’t have money to do much with my daughter. I am not pregnant again and my boyfriend was laid off and so he cant financially help me. I was recently homeless again while pregnant and since I have a job that pays a little over the bracket I had to sleep on the floor at one of my friends home since welfare couldn’t help me. I finally found a program that assisted me with getting a apartment but my bills are backed up still, winter is coming and my baby is due in Dec and I desperately need a car. I have did the no car thing with my daughter and have to go thru that again with my newborn is going to kill me. I want him to have it better and not have to go thru the struggles my daughter and I went thru. I am currently going to college, go to work full time and trying to spend time with my daughter but its so hard having to travel by bus to work then a hour a day after to work to go to school then a hour back to get home. Then have limited time with my daughter. Please help me.
Thank you.

Patricia maestas says
Hi, I’m a single parent to 2 of my grandchildren who are 3 and a 18 months. I’ve had both since birth. Both have special needs and require many appointments. I too am disabled and am always needed to go to appointments. My husband before he passed had left me with a vehicle but was wrecked into, as luck would have it the replacement vehicle caught fire and was destroyed. I have been without a vehicle for nearly a year and have not been able to make appointments and am at the mercy of others when I do make them. I pray that God bless me and my babies with a vehicle… And God bless you ten fold if I am blessed with a car. I’m not able to afford to buy one on my disability income. Thank u for your time.

Kanitra LAne says
My name is Kanitra L. I am a 30 year old woman, whom by the grace of God am still here and in my right mind today. I began to read some of the other stores and I thought wow, some individuals situations are really sad and it hurts my hurt to read some of the stories, so first I say pray, and I will be praying for you guys. I am single mother and have a three year old son who just started preschool and this was our first week and I found it a little challenging to get him to school. I just kept praying and saying God will make a way. I could sit here and tell everyone how I have Lupus and have a really hard time getting around sometimes, how my legs are bad, and I also suffer from AVN, arthritis, and much more, and while yes being blessed with a car would honestly help me 100% especially as I try to go back to work again. But I say this the God I serve is awesome, and he has and will continue to make a way out of no way for me, and right now I have no way. I could go on, and on, about all the things that occurred in my life and how having a car would help, but then I may sound like I am complaining, and God would not want that, so I say may he bless someone with a car. I know that in the end I will come out on top because of my FAITH and my GOD. May you all have a great weekend. You all and your situations are in my prayers, and remember it could be worse!

We are trying to recover and start over I am on disability so our income is very little we don’t have much but we make up for that with closeness and love.my plan is to go back to job training classes for the disabled and become more self sufficient to support my children and live as safe and positive as possible but we are very limited in our life without transportation work wise and school wise if our family were to be chosen for this wonderful gift I would be given the chance to show my children how important it is to be independent and overcome in the most trying of times. Thank you for the opportunity to tell my story and God Bless for helping single mothers and giving the opportunity to start over.
Susan Schettini says
Hey guys, I need your help!! I’ve always been a single mom of my two “saving graces” by the name of Jaden & Savanah. A few years back my dad passed away & before doing so, he unfortunately had an affair on my mom, leading to a child w/the lady. My mother, his wife 25 years, was hurt & we all were effected by his death. It was Colin cancer he lost his life too. My sister at this point made the horrible my stake of calling DHS for a grief ing class for myself, thinking I would get a week of adult support or so on the whole thing, considering I was a single parent & that triggered their biological father to be tracked back in their life, just to do the same old stuff: empty. Promises to them, stealing birthday/Christmas gifts from them & lots o negative drama. Well recently he’s been sent to prison for meth, stalking his old lady, & theft & they are back in my full care, although this time, since I’ve been out of work, I’ve had to sell my car for rent & have gained their baby sister, who’s father just out of nowhere went missing, think he fell into drug relaps, is all I can think of as an excuse. Anyhow, we are on bikes to anywhere & all day, from McDonalds, to school registrations, visiting a friend, food shopping & it’s a bit rough with the addition of the almost two year old baby Zo-Zo & are hoping for our life to simplify & save our energy & time to help others ourselves, as we used to be able too, back in the days when I drove with my two “saving graces”, non disregarding room for our new arrival 🙂 :-)..pEAce

Danielle Pavlis says
My name is Danielle. I am a 30 year old single mom. In the past I have had extreme depression issues. I recently started seeing a new psychiatrist. Everything was looking up! I was applying every where. I use to teach grade school. I have an early childhood bachelors degree. After I had my daughter my struggles started. Now I’m am living with my ex-husband who is verbally abusive. He was physically abusive before I had the baby. We separated when my daughter was six months. Last week with all the rain I was driving to pick up my daughter. (Thank god Lexi wasn’t in the car). I need help so bad. I know that when I can help people I would. Please pick me for your charity. I will make you all so proud of …,… I promise. Love will all I have, Danielle
Tonya Davison says
My name is Tonya Davison, I have three children but have raised eight. this is while my sister went to prison I had very little support but we made it. I am know attending college for Respiratory Therapy its is a long and bumpy road I have to find a ride to my hospital class I have had to take the little money I get to pay for gas which is most often too much; if I had my own car I would keep more focused and on track. This is one of the biggest hurdles I have to face is not having a car. If chosen for this great blessing it would help me get to my dream of being self reliant and to have a career not just a job. Thank for the time you took to read this

Adriene says
My name is Adriene. I am currently struggling like many other single mothers without a car. I recently had my car break down on me and I cannot afford to fix it since I am unable to even get back and forth to work. I also have my son who is 8, his medical needs require me to take him to numerous doctors appointments as he is currently facing 2 major surgeries. Without a car I cant take him to these important appointments. Things have become very difficult for me and my son I have to depend on other people to take us where we need to go and it is slowly taking away from the little bit of money I do have. I am in desperate need of a vehicle!!

Jennifer says
I’m a battered mother and wife. I had to leave my home and move to a new state where I have no family to save my life. I have four kids with no job, and no way of getting them to their new school. I’m currently living in a shelter where we had our very first experience with bed bugs and some weird bacteria infection. I deal with depression on a regular basis but lately it’s been worse. I’m looking for a new church home and job and I want to finish school, all I want is a little help.
judy says
my story is not any different than anyone elses in a lot of ways. i have three beautiful boys. A blessing in itsself. they mean the world to me. I am currently homeless and could use a car to get alot of things taken care of first being a home. I also want to go back to college. I have many things that i would use a car for the boys personally i.e. dentist, doctor, school, emergencies ect. If i were blessed enough then it would also be used for the family i.e. grocery shopping, family outings ect.. i wish we could all win one but only God knows who needs it the most. Best of luck to all.
