Winter brings lower temperatures and the potential for freezing rain, sleet and snow which can wreak havoc on our roads and highways. Outside of combating chilly mornings and extended commute times, it’s important for you to think about one of your most valuable assets: your vehicle.
Sincerely,
Martin "Marty" Schwartz

Full Circle combines transparent, affordable auto repair, maintenance and service with a heart. In addition to providing high-quality, lower-cost automotive services, Full Circle houses a six-month reentry program that teaches returning citizens the skills necessary to thrive.
This month, we invite you to meet Perry, a recent graduate of our Full Circle training program.
Before entering the program, Perry had tried his best to prepare for re-entering society. However, with limited technical skills and training, his opportunities were limited.

Vehicles for Change believes individuals with talent are abundant - it is opportunity that is limited. We are matching those individuals with impactful opportunities via car ownership and automotive training.

Ameena
is a hard-working mother of two beautiful girls, ages 8 and 5. Currently, Ameena works at a cemetery in Suitland Maryland as a sales counselor. Without her own transportation, Ameena used 3 buses to get her daughters to school and herself to work. However, the commute ended up amounting to 2.5 hours each way. “If I left work at 5:00 PM, my daughters and I wouldn’t get home until 7:30 PM,” she said.

You may have seen in our last e-newsletter and on our social media channels last month that the roof of our Halethorpe garage was in desperate need of repair.
Thanks to you, our loyal supporters, and the help of an extremely generous private donor, we're happy to report we've raised the money needed to repair our roof and ensure the safety of our staff and automotive trainees!
We appreciate your generosity, and roof repairs will begin soon!

Furloughed? Consider LYFT!

Although the government shutdown has ended temporarily, it was still the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. More than 800,000 people didn't receive paychecks, causing extreme financial strain on families and individuals in need.
If you or a close friend or loved one have been affected by the shutdown, we encourage you to consider learning more about driving for LYFT, one of Vehicles for Change's partners!
