At Christmas Car Project, our mission is simple: help people gain reliable transportation so they can move forward with their lives. In 2025, that mission grew in ways we can barely believe. We were able to repair and gift 17 vehicles, including several summer giveaways. 17 !! Can you believe it!! 

Behind each car is a real story too: a family getting kids to school safely, a parent showing up to work, or someone rebuilding after a hard season. Cars change lives, and we see that impact every time we hand over the keys. 2025 was also a year of behind-the-scenes growth. As our organization has expanded, we have begun keeping more formal financial records for transparency and accuracy. While we worked hard to capture everything accurately, some early-year activity may be estimated. Even so, this report reflects the true scope of our work and the care we take to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. None of this happens without our community. We are supported by generous donors, long-time sponsors, new partners, volunteer mechanics, event helpers, and friends who show up again and again. Your time, skills, and financial support make this work possible. 

Thank you for believing in this mission and for walking alongside us. We are excited to carry this momentum into 2026 and continue serving families, one car at a time. 

With so much gratitude,

Kristie Hansen Executive Director
