Turning Obligation into Opportunity

Destiny Changers Foundation is an approved site for court-ordered community service hours for both youth (ages 12–17) and adults.

Participants work alongside our team, contribute meaningfully to the community, and often discover a sense of purpose they didn't expect.
- Accepted for youth ages 12–17 and adults
- Structured, supervised service opportunities
- Official documentation and hour verification
- Mentorship and encouragement throughout
- Pathway to continued volunteering for those who want to stay

Driving Families Toward Independence
Wheels of Destiny
A significant challenge faced by single parents-in-need, and their children, is transportation. Wheels of Destiny gives the gift of a reliable vehicle to single parents with children and helps them drive to a better life. Owning a car is often the first step to financial independence for single parents and their families — and we work to help make this happen.
- We donate cars to approved clients from authorized charities
- Vehicles must be running at time of donation
- Applicants must be sponsored by a partnering organization
- A signature from an organization you are involved with is required
- If awarded a vehicle, your privacy is respected — just let us know
