Who We Are
The Samaritan Car Care Clinic offers a lifeline to working poor families. 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.”
– Samaritan Car Care Clinic Participant

The Cincinnati office of PNC Private Bank gave the Clinic a wonderful gift in December. That gift was hundreds of dollars of AutoZone gift cards. They were put to immediate use!
Market Leader Lisa Sampson surprised the Clinic with the thoughtful gift that came from co-workers looking to support a non-profit with great community impact.
