PORT CHARLOTTE, FL (December 18, 2025) – On Friday, December 12, a Fort Collins single parent of two received a life-changing gift—the donation of a beautifully refurbished vehicle as they continue to pursue their educational goals and care for their family. The donation was made possible by the NABC Recycled Rides® program, vehicle donor Allstate and repair partner Yoder Collision Network.
The presentation took place at the Allstate office located in Timnath, CO. The recipient was nominated by Joy & Justice. Founded in 2023, Joy & Justice was created with the sole purpose of bringing joy to families facing the challenges of domestic violence while advocating for transformation within the justice system.
A 2020 Toyota RAV 4, donated by Allstate and refurbished by the technicians at Yoder Collision Network, was presented to an anonymous Fort Collins resident. This exceptional person is a highly motivated & resilient individual who has made tremendous progress in the face of significant life challenges. She is currently pursuing her Certified Nursing Assistant certification & is considering furthering her education. She is deeply service-oriented, committed to both personal growth & giving back to her community. Without a dependable car, her ability to attend school, get to work, care for her children & maintain her forward momentum is severely limited. Public transportation options are not sufficient for the demands of her schedule & family life. This donated vehicle will not only provide the stability she needs to stay on track with her education & career goals, but also alleviate financial pressure, allowing her to focus on building a sustainable & independent future. This gift of transportation is not a handout, but a bridge to continued self-sufficiency, economic stability & long-term success for her & her family.
Allstate, a Level One partner of the National Auto Body Council®, has donated several hundred vehicles to people and organizations through the NABC Recycled Rides® program, making it one of the largest car donor partners of NABC Recycled Rides.
