Community Partnerships
Partner With Hope Drives
Churches, social workers, shelters, and community organizations can refer people in need of reliable transportation, or build an ongoing partnership to serve your community alongside us.
Our Network
Who We Partner With
We are looking for the people you already know are close. Not someone who needs everything fixed, but someone who has the job, has the housing, and is doing the work, where an unreliable car is the one thing that keeps putting it all at risk. If you can point to that person, we want to hear from you.
Churches
Congregations are usually the first to know when a working family is one breakdown away from losing ground. Refer the members you already walk with, and we will take it from there.
Social Workers & Case Managers
If you have a client who has landed the job and secured the housing and still cannot get to work reliably, that is exactly who we are built for.
Transitional & Supportive Housing
When someone has moved into stable housing and started working, a car is often the last thing standing between them and independence.
Workforce & Job Placement Programs
Your graduates finished the training and got hired. Refer the ones whose only remaining barrier is the commute.
Dealerships & Repair Shops
Fleet turnover, trade-ins that won’t move, bay time on a slow Tuesday. What’s marginal to a dealership is transformational to a family. We partner with dealers and independent shops on vehicle sourcing, discounted repairs, and inspection support.
The Process
How Referrals Work
A simple, dignified process from referral to keys in hand.
Step 01
You Submit a Referral
Fill out the referral form below with your client's info and their transportation need, with their consent.
Step 02
We Contact the Client
Our team reaches out directly to learn more about their situation and confirm eligibility.
Step 03
Client Completes Application
The client fills out our full application and participates in a faith-based mentoring orientation with one of our church partners.
Step 04
Vehicle & Ongoing Support
If approved, they receive a vehicle along with maintenance education and continued mentoring support.
Submit a Referral
Refer Someone in Need
Please ensure you have your client's consent before submitting their information.
Most of the people we serve are referred by someone who already knows them: a pastor, a caseworker, a shelter director. If that's you, this form takes three minutes.
