Mission Auto

Mission Auto is a social enterprise that changes lives by turning donated vehicles into opportunities for vocational training, employment, and funding for Fresno Mission programs.

Transforming Vehicles Into Second Chances

Mission Auto is more than just a vehicle resale program—it’s a pathway to transformation. We accept donated vehicles, train men in our Mission Academy program to repair them, and sell the cars to generate funding for Fresno Mission’s ministries. This initiative provides vocational skills, real-world job experience, and a fresh start for those in our program, while also offering quality vehicles to the community and a convenient way for donors to make an impact.

Three men work together on a car’s door interior in a garage. One man stands and observes while two others, wearing Academy hoodies, focus on repairs inside the vehicle. Tools and parts are visible in the background.

How it Works

  • Donated Vehicles: Cars, motorcycles, boats, RVS, and more are donated by generous community members.
  • Vocational Training: Men in the Mission Academy receive hands-on training and work experience repairing the vehicles.
  • Fueling the Ministry: Repaired vehicles are sold, with proceeds supporting Fresno Mission’s life-transforming programs.

By supporting Mission Auto, you’re not just helping us repair vehicles—you’re helping us rebuild lives.
