Hi,
Here are a couple options for you. As this email / thread shows, there are programs for vehicle in NC listed here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... grams.html
But there are also national programs and giveaways we have listed - whether say from Goodwill to Free Charity cars or other places. So try those too, and that list of a free car for the low-income is here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... _cars.html

I received your website information from another assistance place in Asheville. I was wondering if you can direct me to anywhere that would be able to help with fixing my Toyota, giving me a new car, or paying the car registration bill. I owe a huge amount and have not been able to make payment due to basic living and food expenses. I need to get caught up just to be able to make it to and from work safely and extremely terrified not being able to handle these fees. Any assistance, or just a free car which I hear is offered, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I'm a 60 year old man in Greensboro NC desperately trying to get a dependable car so I can get a job to survive. I was working as a maintenance man at Fort Bragg when the pandemic started and have struggled since.
I have 12 heart stents and cop. My doctor warned me to isolate, and I have moved to Greensboro. My car was stolen about 6 months prior to the pandemic. My credit score suffered, and I have bought a couple $1000 cars off of Facebook since then. Both were lemons. My unemployment runs out September 4 and if I can get a low APR car loan I can get a job, survive and repay the loan.
I have been trying since I received my vaccinations to get transportation and need a car that is cheap or free. I came across your organization and I would like any information I can get please. I don't know if with the little time I have before having no income it's realistic to contact you, but my options are limited.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
Seems you are both in the Charlotte area, and we have free car programs listed for there (and all of NC). Of course these programs are not common, but possible to apply at. In general, they are needed for work reasons, and look here for a free car in NC.

Good evening,
I am in need of assistance in Charlotte NC ASAP with a car or transportation..
I am staying with a local pastor and need to move, replace my lost phone, find a job and pay fines and court costs to reinstate my NCDL.
Because I lost my phone on the bus two weeks ago. I am in the downtown Charlotte NC library trying to piece my life back together. I do not have access to the internet because I lost my phone provided by the government. I try to go places that have free WiFi to apply for jobs, find free car programs and finds services that will assist me.
At this point, I am stressed and having bouts of anxiety and depression. I am at my wits end and would be eternally grateful for any assistance you can provide with my Driver License and a vehicle. Email seems to be my only method of communication. My contact information is provided below:

Free car needed in NC for a job

Post by AIGDirect »

Hello my name is Michelle, I was referred to your site by someone who said you all could possibly help me with getting a car in Charlotte North Carolina. My current situation is I'm about to be homeless due to circumstances that caused me to lose my job several months ago and fall behind. I have a 130lb German Shepard dog which is my world.
I just started a good job 3 months ago and I make 16 an hour now and am getting back on track. The way I was getting back and forth to work was through people I am staying with now were letting me drive their vehicle back and forth to work. Well being I'm getting kicked out me driving their car back and forth is no longer a option anymore. I don't want to loose my job cause then I would be in a world of mess but I need transportation to be able to get back and forth to my job in Charlotte and also need the transportation to keep my dog Isaiah in the car all day while I work because I don't have no where or no one to watch or keep him for me. He need a place to be while I'm working so he would have to stay in the car.
But I really need help getting a car for free. I have no one else to help me or turn to no family. Just me and my dog. If you could not help me could you maybe at lease point me in the direction I need to go to get the help I'm looking for in the Charlotte or Mecklenburg County area. Thank you
