Participant Testimonials

“I was offered a job which is located 15 miles from my apartment. No public transportation travels that far. So this program allowed me to accept this job. I was able to get a vehicle, something I haven’t had for around four years. I’m so grateful for this program. I wouldn’t be able to get a car otherwise.” – Couleecap participant

“Couleecap Work-N-Wheels has benefited my life by keeping loan payments low enough without interest so I’m able to afford insurance. Also provided transportation to my family and helped me keep my current employer.” – Couleecap participant
