Vehicle Donation Program
Esperanza Unida's Auto Repair Training Center is in need of used cars, trucks, and vans. We utilize your donated vehicles in the following ways: 

• Automobiles are used as training tools for students in our Auto Repair Training Program;

• Repaired automobiles are sold to generate financial support for our training programs; and

• Repaired Vehicles are provided at a discounted rate to graduates of our training programs to help them get to their new jobs or sold to the public at a reasonable rate
