More Ways to Give

Freedom Wheels Program

Freedom Wheels is Caring Unlimited’s car repair and donation program that operates in partnership with Kennebunk Auto. 

Access to safe and reliable transportation is critical for families in southern Maine as they reorganize their lives without an abusive partner or family member.

With limited options for public transportation, the gift of a vehicle through the Freedom Wheels program provides countless opportunities for families working with Caring Unlimited’s programs.
