PORT CHARLOTTE, FL (June 24, 2026) – On Saturday, June 20, a Sacramento area single mother received a gift that could help change her life—the donation of a beautifully refurbished vehicle that will allow her to properly care for her daughter. The donation was made possible by the NABC Recycled Rides® program, vehicle donor Allstate and repair partner Fix Auto USA, part of the Driven Brands family of automotive brands.
The presentation took place at Fix Auto in Turlock, CA. The recipient was nominated by Family Promise of Greater Modesto. Formerly known as the Greater Modesto Interfaith Hospitality Network (GMIHN), this organization unites local churches to offer shelter and assistance to families facing homelessness.
A 2022 Honda Accord, donated by Allstate and refurbished by the technicians at Fix Auto in Turlock, CA, was presented to Cinthia Carrillo Montes. Sheis a single mother to her exceptional daughter. Having a full-time job, a child living with autism who has school and doctor’s appointments, speech therapy, the need for a reliable vehicle is extremely important. Montes current vehicle is inoperable and unsafe, despite having already spent a great deal of money on previous repairs. This refurbished vehicle from the NABC Recycled Rides® program will ensure Montes can continue working and give her all the love and care she deserves.
Those in the community can support this life-changing program in two ways – donate to the program directly or donate their unwanted or non-running vehicle through the Changing and Saving Lives Keys for Change program. They will receive a tax donation for their contribution, and proceeds will help provide funding for more vehicles to more people in need across the country – and in their community.
