On Thursday, August 6, one deserving CSRA resident experienced a life-changing event — the presentation of vehicles to provide her independence and the ability to work and take care of her family — thanks to Kendrick Paint & Body and car donor, GEICO, along with the National Auto Body Council Recycled Rides® program.

NABC Recycled Rides® is a unique program in which businesses representing all facets of the collision repair industry team up to repair and donate vehicles to individuals and families in need of reliable transportation. Since the inception of the NABC Recycled Rides® program in 2007, members of the National Auto Body Council® have donated more than 2,500 vehicles valued at more than $36 million.

Additional partners in the NABC Recycled Rides® presentation include 1-800 Charity Cars and Gerald Jones Ford.
