Today, RepairSmith announces Jump Start, a philanthropic initiative to support nonprofit organizations whose programs and resources are dedicated to diversity and inclusion.
Jump Start aims to remove the financial burden of car repair for nonprofit organizations, allowing them to deliver essential services without disruption. The program launches with its first partner, Project Angel Food, in Los Angeles to help the organization carry out its mission to deliver healthy meals to feed people impacted by serious illness, bringing comfort and hope every day.
“RepairSmith launched Jump Start to provide relief to organizations addressing socioeconomic, racial and ethnic inequalities by providing access to healthcare and educational resources, as well as career opportunities. We are proud to launch with Project Angel Food, who support people affected by life-threatening illnesses by cooking and delivering healthy meals free of charge, to their homes in Los Angeles,” said Joel Milne, CEO of RepairSmith.
“Every year our vans travel 125,000 miles throughout L.A. County delivering medically tailored meals to people living with cancer, heart disease, kidney failure and HIV/AIDS,” said Richard Ayoub, executive director of Project Angel Food. “Imagine what a toll that puts on our vehicles. That’s why we are thrilled with Repair Smith’s commitment to provide all the repairs and maintenance on our vehicles up to $10,000!”
Over the next year, RepairSmith will donate $250,000 in free car repair service to organizations who meet Jump Start’s criteria. Each non-profit is eligible for up to $10,000 in free services to passenger and light duty vehicles.
Eligible organizations include those committed to diversity and inclusion by providing at-risk populations access to essential services; food or personal care products, health and wellness resources, education, job training, family services, housing assistance, or rehabilitation programs.
Qualifying organizations that meet the following criteria can apply starting today:
- In need of vehicle repair or maintenance service to restore its capacity to provide programs and resources to their community.
- 501 (c) organizations in locations where RepairSmith operates (California, Nevada and Arizona).
“Our mission is to help nonprofit partners to carry out their programs and improve the lives of people in their communities. RepairSmith is passionate about alleviating the financial burden of car repair by providing organizations access to safe and reliable transportation, allowing them to carry out their important work,” Milne said.
RepairSmith offers on-site repair and maintenance for car owners at their home or workplace with certified technicians, backed by a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty. In March 2020, RepairSmith launched its ‘No-Contact Car Repair’ service.
The Jump Start program follows RepairSmith’s recent commitment and donation of over $100,000 in free service to car owners impacted by COVID-19, either by loss of employment or acting as a frontline worker. Within the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2020, RepairSmith technicians delivered 267 free services across more than 90 cities.
