     Employer Reaps Rewards Through Wheels of Success Partner Program
    Casper Company, the predominant owner of McDonald's franchises in the bay area, has partnered with Wheels of Success to help its employees with transporation needs. Six months into the program, it's a resounding success. Improvements have been seen in employee timeliness, productivity, and attitude. Here are examples of how Casper and Wheels' clients are benefiting:

  • Two vehicle recipients promoted to second assistants
  • One vehicle recipient promoted to shift manager
  • One vehicle recipient promoted to shift manager and transferred to another store that needed support
  • Interested in establishing a partner program? Send us an email.

     
     
    Wheels of Success does more than give out cars. We help with car repairs, tag/title/insurance, car payments and down payments. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a huge difference. $35 transfers a title; $50 buys a tire or battery. Please consider making an online donation or donating your vehicle to help another family stay on the road. Was this email forwarded to you? Subscribe at: www.wheelsofsuccess.org
    The Winner's Circle: Wendy's Story
    Last Thanksgiving, Wendy O. and her family started a road trip to see relatives. On the way, their vehicle caught fire and was destroyed.

    Thankfully, no one was hurt, but Wendy soon discovered that she couldn’t afford new transportation, which meant she could no longer get back and forth to work or care for her family’s basic needs.

    Read Wendy's full story.
