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.”

SCCC has a volunteer who's been showing up for 8 years because he cares about the families in Northern Kentucky.
Here's what we do that no national car donation service can:
→ Your car stays in NKY — no auction, no out-of-state processing
→ Our mechanics repair it before it goes to a family
→ That family is vetted through our network of 12+ local social service agencies
→ You can know the outcome. Because it happens right here.
Donate to someone you can trust. Donate locally.

The SCCC exhibits and stands for exactly that what charity is about: a philosophy that we can learn from on the other side of the pond...
Such a wonderful mission Bruce!! Way to go!
The Samaritan Car Care Clinic was able to do a vehicle title transfer for Amanda M. “I am so grateful for the team at the Samaritan Car Care Clinic, St. Vincent de Paul - Northern Kentucky, and Life Learning Center. Receiving this Honda not only allows me to get to and from work but also allows me the opportunity to see my older children who live an hour away and transport my youngest children. I am overwhelmed with happiness and relief. What you are doing here is incredible work. Thank you.”
You can see Amanda proudly standing in front of her new Honda Accord in the photo. Thank you to all of our supporters for making this possible!

Denise T. proudly stands beside her new-to-her van. Denise has been through a job training program at Brighton Center, so access to affordable and reliable transportation is a key part of Denise’s efforts to stay on the path to financial independence.
The Samaritan Car Care Clinic received a donated Honda Odyssey 7 passenger van perfect for Denise. After repairs to make it safe and more reliable, Brighton Center was able to nominate Denise for this vehicle placement through grant funding. Thank you to all of our supporters!

On a rainy Saturday, May 16, 2026, Samaritan Car Care Clinic volunteers held a maintenance event. Most of the oil change appointments were for clients of NorthKey, but several other agencies were represented as well.
Many thanks to the great group of volunteers who offered a hand up to these low-income families. This month’s volunteers included two current Gateway Community and Technical College auto technology students, as well as a Gateway instructor. Really appreciate your help!

Awesome work you all are doing 👏
You guys rock
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.

No car to give? A cash donation keeps a local family moving too.
