Over the past years, Bridge has had the honor to receive car donations and to surprise a refugee family with a car. Having access to a car in cities like Chattanooga and Knoxville is a great benefit for refugees. It makes it a lot easier to get to work, to do groceries, and in general to connect with the community. We are very grateful for everyone who has donated their car to one of our clients in the past. If you're interested in donating your car or if you would like to get more information, please send an email to [email protected]! 🚗
