The presentation was held at the CARSTAR the Professionals Auto Body Works in Modesto. The deserving recipients were selected by Family Promise of Greater Modesto. The recipient was Erika and her four children (ages range from 1 to 13), who moved to Modesto to care for an ailing family member in exchange for housing. When that housing arrangement ended, even though Erika started work for a property management company, the family found themselves facing homelessness. Working hard to keep their family together with a goal of independence, they found Family Promise of Greater Modesto. Family Promise provided shelter and resources while Erika continued to work. The family has found housing and continues to work on their goals. Lack of reliable transportation for work and school has been a struggle for the family. The gift of a vehicle will fill a critical need and empower this family to maintain their employment, housing and work toward their future goals.

Allstate Insurance donated the vehicle and technicians at CARSTAR The Professionals Auto Body Works in Modesto volunteered personal time to restore the vehicle to nearly new condition to help the family get back on the road to regain independence and freedom. 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 included 1-800 Charity Cars and other local vendors who donated products and services.ABOUT THE NATIONAL AUTO BODY COUNCIL The National Auto Body Council, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2020, is the premier organization of collision industry partners dedicated to strategic networking opportunities that positively change lives in the communities we serve.
