The car was restored by technicians at Service King, Crest Auto Group and Gerber Collision & Glass who donated their time and skills. Staff from Farmers, the auto body shops and others contributed gifts to “stuff the trunk” for the recipients and their families.

The recipients were nominated for the car donations by the nonprofit Allies in Service.

The NABC Recycled Rides® program brings together collision repairers, insurers and others in the collision industry in an effort to make a difference and give refurbished vehicles to individuals and service organizations that would benefit from reliable transportation. The NABC Recycled Rides® program began in 2007 and since then has donated more than 2,000 vehicles valued at $36 million.

The recipients look forward to the opportunities the vehicles can provide them: 

• Dan Nunn, a Marine Corps and Army veteran and current member of the Army Reserves, is excited for the ways the new car can help support him and his family.
• Now equipped with her new vehicle, Marine Corps veteran Donna Candia will be able to have dependable transportation for her commute to and from school where she is taking IT courses.
• Alvernita Payne, an Air Force veteran and single mom, is looking forward to the ways her car can help meet her and her family’s needs, including continuing her education at a local college.
