Car Program
Clients in need of transportation may apply to receive a refurbished car that has been donated through the Naperville CARES car donation program. Due to the limited number of cars available, qualified applicants are generally added to a waiting list.* Please read the following testimonial about this program:
“I am writing to send the sincerest thank you for the car donation. I now have peace of mind that I can get to work, see my children when I want to, and get around to do errands. When you do not have the luxury of a car, transportation is difficult and sometimes very stress filled. I no longer have that stress.”
— CARES Client
