One Vehicle. One Family. One Life Transformed.
A Good Shepherd, Inc. is an IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, licensed by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to accept charitable vehicle donations in service of our community.
At the heart of our mission is an unwavering commitment to the low-income families of Montgomery County facing economic hardship and barriers to self-sufficiency. For these families, reliable transportation is not a luxury — it is a lifeline that connects parents to employment, children to education, and families to independence.
Through a community-driven model, we connect generous donors with the families who need it most, channeling donated vehicles and essential resources into tangible, life-changing support — restoring stability, preserving dignity, and opening pathways to long-term self-reliance.
Because every family, regardless of income, deserves the opportunity to thrive. When we invest in our neighbors, we strengthen the entire community.

Our Values
A single act of generosity can change a life forever
A Good Shepherd, Inc. is a licensed Maryland nonprofit rooted in a simple conviction: reliable transportation is a gateway to opportunity. We transform donated vehicles into life-changing resources for low-income families and individuals exclusively in Montgomery County, MD — with no cost to recipients, no barriers to eligibility, and every vehicle certified by ASE-licensed master mechanics.
We envision a Montgomery County where economic hardship is never compounded by the inability to get there. Transportation is not a privilege — it is a fundamental enabler of self-sufficiency, connecting people to employment, healthcare, and education.
Through donor generosity and skilled craftsmanship, we work toward a future where no family is left behind.
A community that moves forward — together.
Dignity. Generosity. Accountability. Community.
We believe every person deserves the freedom to move forward — and that one act of giving can make it possible.

How Vehicle Donation Works
Who We Serve
For many low-income individuals, lack of transportation is the single greatest obstacle to employment, healthcare, education, and independence. We serve working adults, single-parent households, individuals transitioning from public assistance or foster care, veterans, and seniors — with dignity and without regard to race, religion, gender, or national origin.
What Recipients Receive
Every placed vehicle includes a Maryland State inspection certificate, a 90-day warranty (select vehicles), AAA membership, and full MVA compliance — at zero cost to the recipient.
Vehicles We Accept
We accept virtually any vehicle — cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, boats, motorcycles, RVs, and more — in any condition, running or not. If it has wheels, we want to hear from you.
Get Involved
We welcome skilled volunteers, partner organizations, and sponsors. Opportunities include certified mechanics, administrative support, towing providers, grant writers, and more. Volunteers must be 19 or older.
We also accept financial contributions and in-kind donations, and actively seek partner agencies to help identify and support recipients.
