The purpose of the Don’t Despair Car Repair Program is to provide assistance for individuals in need of car repairs in Greater Franklin County, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. Assistance through the Don’t Despair Car Repair Program, an internal program at United Way of the Tri-Valley Area (UWTVA), is determined by an application process which is available on the United Way website (www.uwtva.org), at our partnering garages and at the United Way office, 218 Fairbanks Road in Farmington.
Once an applicant is approved, assistance will be provided up to $1,000 per applicant. Currently there can be only one applicant per household and an applicant may be funded only one time, this allows United Way to help as many different households as possible. If repair exceeds $1,000, the payment of the customer portion must be paid to the garage prior to UWTVA sending payment. Applications are reviewed and approved (if eligible) by a review committee made up of five community members. Applications will be reviewed within a 48-hour turnaround time. For a full list of guidelines and the applications, please visit a participating garage or our website, www.uwtva.org.
