About Us
Transforming Lives Through Reliable Transportation
A Good Shepherd, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and licensed Maryland charity that connects vehicle donors with low-income, economically disadvantaged families across Montgomery County — because a car is far more than a convenience. It is a lifeline to employment, healthcare, stability, and dignity.
We collect donated vehicles, ensure each meets rigorous safety standards through our network of contracted ASE-certified mechanics, and award them at a nominal cost to qualifying families — turning every act of generosity into a genuine pathway toward opportunity and lasting independence.
For many of those we serve, the absence of reliable transportation is the single greatest barrier standing between a parent and a job, or a family and financial stability. Through our Vehicle Donation Program, we work to remove that barrier — one vehicle at a time.
Our Commitment to Quality
Every vehicle transfer is handled with care and integrity. Recipients may benefit from a valid Maryland State Inspection and a 90-day warranty on select vehicles, ensuring that what we give is something families can truly depend on.
Get involved, join us and Make a Tax-Deductible Impact
Vehicle donations are 100% tax-deductible, and monetary contributions help cover repair and program costs. We proudly welcome individuals, faith communities, corporations, automotive service providers, and social service agencies to join us as donors, volunteers, or Partner Agencies — because the stronger our network, the more families we can serve.
Real opportunity moves on four wheels. Join us — and help put Montgomery County families on the road to lasting change.
