A Baltimore family is in for a very special Christmas morning thanks to the organization Cars with Care.
“Having us come and knock on your door and hand you the keys— free and clear—to a vehicle, I think that’s a big deal,” said Stephen Green, one of the co-founders of Cars with Care.
Cars with Care is an organization made up of a group of Black-owned business owners who buy, recondition, and donate vehicles to families in need every Christmas.
“Cars with Care is about giving a family opportunity, giving someone the means to explore opportunities beyond their immediate borders because, a lot of times in the city, if you depend on public transportation or spending money on an Uber or a Lyft, it can be kind of taxing on that family,” Green said.
Cars with Care team members all have backgrounds in auto reconditioning or philanthropy. The team includes Green, who owns Paintless Dent Doctor; Damond Horne, who owns Total Recon; Eric Randall Jr., who owns of KXK Financial; Michael Foy, who owns CM Mobile Detailing; and Kermit Fowlkes, who owns Focus Movers.
Green and his team have been reconditioning and donating cars for the past seven years, and they’ll give away their eighth car this year.
Baltimore nonprofit Hug Don’t Shoot will fill the car with toys and other items for the recipient family. Cars with Care has not picked a winner yet, and they’re still accepting entries on their website.
