Wheels for Work in Minot, ND
Donate a Car & Change a Life in Minot, ND
Minot Automotive Company has partnered with Souris Valley United Way to bring the Wheels for Work program to Minot, ND. Through this initiative, donated vehicles undergo safety inspections and necessary repairs before being provided to a family in need. Reliable transportation opens doors to jobs, school, childcare, medical appointments, and everyday essentials, making a lasting impact on local families.
