The National Auto Body Council (NABC), along with GEICO and Black Tie Collision Centers, recently donated a refurbished vehicle to a Houston, Texas family dealing with health issues and lacking transportation. The donation was made through the NABC’s Recycled Rides program,
The 2020 Kia Sportage LX was donated by GEICO and refurbished by the skilled technicians at Black Tie Collision Center of Houston. The recipient, Michael Pinon, was nominated for the Recycled Ride by Fort Bend Family Promise.
Pinon and his family have been working with Fort Bend Family Promise for more than a year to become self-sufficient. The Pinons have overcome homelessness and are dealing with health challenges for themselves and their children. The lack of a working vehicle means that they have not been able to get to doctor appointments and outpatient care. Both parents work, and the Recycled Ride will make their commutes more manageable and reduce their daily stress and dependence on ride shares.
GEICO, a level one partner of NABC, is the largest donor of vehicles to the Recycled Rides program, having donated more than 1,000 vehicles since 2007.
Black Tie Collision Centers has been serving the great Houston area since 2008 with three I-CAR Gold full-service collision repair locations.
Additional partners in the presentation included Mobile Tech Solutions; LKQ; Stonewall; Advanced Remarketing Services; Cars for Charity; Copart; and Enterprise.
