Auto Technical, Inc.

Auto Technical, Inc. Auto Tech, Inc. (ATI) is a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization created on the principle that everyone can help toward positive change in their community.

Your used family car donation will mean everything to a struggling family in our Twin Cities community If you have a drivable or repairable car, van or truck, you can make a donation to Auto Technical, Inc. and receive a fair market tax deduction for your contribution. Your used family car donation will mean everything to a struggling family in our Twin Cities community. Not only do you gain a tax

deduction, but you will give a struggling neighbor the chance toward life advancement—an opportunity to learn marketable skills, gain self-esteem and experience the feeling of success. The Project Family Car program provides affordable, reliable cars to help families make the transition from welfare to work. ATI provides and refurbishes all vehicles. We accept donated vehicles, assess necessary repairs, then refurbish and recondition the vehicles, offering new lives of self-sufficiency to struggling families. Through collaboration with several human service providers throughout the metropolitan community, ATI identifies families who have successfully transitioned from welfare to work. Having obtained employment, they seek reliable, affordable vehicles to maintain employment and new found dignity. Counselors, working with successfully employed families, refer the families to ATI. ATI also provides car care clinics for families who receive vehicles. The goal not only entails providing affordable, reliable transportation for families, but to make them knowledgeable consumers. Participants learn how to troubleshoot possible problems, such as checking fluids, belts and hoses. We aim to teach families how to maintain their car, ensuring that the car stays on the road and becomes an asset in the family’s long term self-sufficiency. We ask participating families of Project Family Car to attend financial and budget management classes as well. These help the families to learn money management and associated costs of car ownership. Many of the families have never owned a car, so the classes help them to understand the responsibilities related to vehicle ownership. Vehicles donated to ATI that are not appropriate for families (i.e. older luxury cars) are checked, repaired and sold to the general public. These sales help ATI to offer low cost or no cost transportation to low income families. Other cars found to be too old or too worn to repair are stripped for usable parts to keep the costs of refurbishing as efficient as possible. Your donated vehicles and partnership give families reliable and affordable transportation. Furthermore, you, the donor, know that your vehicle has a new life, providing transportation to low-income families who need transportation to maintain independence and self-sufficiency. ATI also provides training for individuals interested in gaining auto-mechanical repair skills. Through mentorships, participants learn skills in tune up, brake and muffler repair, auto body repair and detailing. Participants in ATI Mentor training generally have low incomes, with very low reading and writing skills, possibly with English as their second language. This mentor training program aims to help participants gain confidence and learning skills before moving on to an accredited training program. Please consider a donation to Auto Technical, Inc. Your donation and partnership will help families and individuals in our community develop marketable skills and an opportunity to maintain financial self-sufficiency. ATI is legally organized under the State of Minnesota, a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization, Federal Tax I.D. Number 41-1813762. Our goal is to mobilize community resources. If you are a member of a civic organization or church group and would like to work with our organization, or if you would like a speaker to discuss the programs offered by ATI, please call 612-919-5526 or 651-646-7826.

One part you can do to end homelessness is to donate your vehicle to Auto Technical, inc.

One key to success is to get to and from work. Sadly there are places that do not have bus service and a car is the only way.

With the help of an external evaluator, the county will try to achieve "functional zero" — housing more people than become homeless.
