Who We Are
The Samaritan Car Care Clinic offers a lifeline to working poor families in Northern Kentucky. Our services enable these families to maintain their cars, allowing them to access jobs and transport family members to school and health care appointments.
“This is a great service. It is different than what others provide. Others do the normal services like food, but changing my oil is so great because my car is important to me. If I can’t get to my job, I can’t pay my bills.”

In Northern Kentucky, public transit covers a fraction of where people live and work.
For many working families, a car isn't a convenience — it's the only way to get to work.
When that car breaks down, the whole stack of progress can collapse: Missed shifts. A written warning. Then termination.
No job means no childcare subsidy. No childcare means no job search.
Samaritan Car Care Clinic exists to interrupt that spiral.
We repaired vehicles for 389 families last year.
We could help numerous more with additional support.
Every donated vehicle closes the gap.

No car to give? A cash donation funds the next repair, the next placement, the next family.

National car donation programs do good work.
But there's something different about donating to an organization
that keeps your car right here in Northern Kentucky.
When you donate to Samaritan Car Care Clinic:
→ Your car goes to a real family in Boone, Campbell, or Kenton County
→ Our mechanics repair it. A working parent gets the keys.
→ That family keeps their job. Their kids get to school.
→ You can see the impact — it's right down the road.
Harvard research on charitable giving confirms what many donors already feel:
local giving — where you can see the outcome — produces the deepest sense of impact.
This is why we do what we do. And why we need your help.

Most donated cars go straight to auction.
Yours doesn't have to.
Here's what happens when you donate your car to Samaritan Car Care Clinic:
Step 1: You call us. We handle everything with you.
Step 2: Our mechanics assess what the car needs.
Step 3: If the car can be repaired, we then do what is needed to make it road-safe.
Step 4: We match it to a vetted family in NKY through our referral network.
Step 5: A working parent in Boone, Campbell, or Kenton County gets the keys.
No auction. No out-of-state processing. No stranger in another state.
Prefer to give cash? That works too — and it stays right here in NKY.
Your neighbor. Your community.

Your car doesn't need to run to make a difference.
Samaritan Car Care Clinic accepts non-running vehicles in Northern Kentucky.
We can arrange a tow pickup for a donated car. Our mechanics assess what it needs.
If it can be made road-safe for a local family, we make it happen.
No cost to you. Tax-deductible receipt provided.
No junkyard negotiation. No Marketplace listing. No strangers in your driveway.
Just one call and it's gone — to somewhere it can do some good.
