Wheels to Work Program
Lack of adequate transportation is a challenge FPMC clients
share with many disadvantaged persons in Moore County. Without a car
or other dependable means of getting to and from work, disadvantaged
persons either cannot secure or keep a job.
One way FPMC is addressing this problem is through its
Wheels to Work program.
This program supplies vehicles to qualified families in need of transportation.
To qualify for a vehicle, applicants must be referred by an approved agency,
have
a clean driving record, and be employed.
Vehicles are titled in the recipient's name; however, FPMC retains
a lien on each vehicle for 15 months. Recipients are required
to repay to FPMC $40.00 per month, for 15 months, for a total
of $600.00.
FPMC secures cars for the program through donations. Cars must be in running
condition to be accepted. Donors may receive a tax deduction on their tax returns.
Tax deductible cash donations are also necessary to fund the operation of the
program.
For more information on the Wheels to Work program contact FPMC at 944-7149.
To donate a car to the program, please call John Calhoun at 246-0436.
