## Story

The presentation was held at the ABRA Woodstock in Woodstock, GA. The deserving family was selected by Never Alone charity, which works to fight hunger among Atlanta-area residents.

“We always want to give back to our community and help those who are working to establish themselves and their independence,” said John Rowland, Parts, Service & Collision Center Director for Krause Family Ford and ABRA Woodstock. “This family is working hard to get to their jobs, attend school and create a path to a more positive life. It’s an honor to be able to help them on their journey.”

The Bingham family received a 2019 Nissan Altima. They are a family of four with only one vehicle to share. Their oldest son will now have quality transportation to travel to and from work, assist with the younger brother’s after-school activities, and help attend to general family needs. As busy as most families are these days, having an additional set of wheels is nearly invaluable.

NABC Recycled Rides® is a unique program in which businesses representing all facets of the collision repair industry team up to repair and donate vehicles to individuals and families in need of reliable transportation. Since the inception of the NABC Recycled Rides® program in 2007, members of the National Auto Body Council® have donated more than 2,750 vehicles valued at more than $38.5 million.
