“Oftentimes, the lack of reliable transportation can be a major barrier to someone who wants to maintain steady and gainful employment,” says United Way President & CEO Tom Maultsby, “The reality is that many people are faced with limited financial resources and can’t always afford down payments on cars or unexpected costly repairs. We are very proud that our partnership with White Allen will periodically provide dependable used vehicles to help families stay on the road to success.”
