Vehicle Ownership Program for Qualified Individuals and Families
Families and individuals residing in the Montgomery County area who face transportation challenges may qualify for assistance through A Good Shepherd, Inc.'s Vehicle Ownership Program. Through this program, we provide fully inspected, repaired, and road-ready vehicles to qualifying individuals and families.
Who We Serve
A Good Shepherd proudly serves working adults, single-parent households, individuals transitioning from public assistance or foster care, veterans, and seniors within the Montgomery County area. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, national origin, or immigration status.
Transportation is often the single greatest barrier preventing low-income individuals from accessing employment, healthcare, education, and independence. Access to a reliable vehicle can be transformative.
How Long Is the Wait?
Vehicle availability depends entirely on community donations. We work diligently to match applicants with available vehicles as promptly as possible. For the most current information on availability, please contact us at ags@agsh.org.
Why Transportation Changes Lives
Research shows that low-income families with reliable vehicle access experience measurably higher wages, better access to healthcare, and greater long-term financial independence.
For a single parent working to hold down a job, get to a medical appointment,
or bring a child to school, a working car isn't a luxury — it's a lifeline.
Every vehicle we place is a direct investment in a family's ability to build a better future.
