Good News Mountaineer Garage is a non-profit organization that began in 1999 when a group got together to plan a project to help West Virginians get on the road to independence.

In most parts of West Virginia, not having a vehicle makes it difficult — and sometimes impossible — to hold a job. But it also limits access to the things we value, things like making it to the doctor when we’re sick, getting our kids to their baseball game, or buying groceries to feed our family. Many of us take these things for granted, but not everyone has that luxury. 

Good News Mountaineer Garage puts people on the road with the help of many individuals and organizations. We accept donations of vehicles that are repairable for a reasonable amount of money. These donated vehicles are then distributed to families with low income who need transportation to work. We also have a program dedicated to helping individuals through the process of applying for a loan, learning about credit, and purchasing a vehicle.

If you are thinking about trading your vehicle for a new one, consider donating it to Good News Mountaineer Garage. If your vehicle is accepted, you will be eligible for a federal tax deduction and, possibly, a state tax credit.

This year’s WVADA Charity Gala proceeds were directed to this worthwhile program. WVADA has a long history of supporting this organization, and WVADA was pleased to do it again this year.
