About

Project CAR has 45+ years of experience providing rides and building community with some of Sioux Falls’ most vulnerable people.

We began in 1980 as a collaborative transit effort among a small group of agencies and churches focused on serving the needs of senior citizens. Since that time we have grown to a reliable and coordinated ministry for vulnerable people – those affected by poverty, seniors, persons with developmental disorders or hindering medical conditions – anyone who struggles with transportation because of health, age, or financial limitation. All rides are provided by our team of volunteers.

Our network includes 17 member organizations, a group of churches and social service agencies. We own our own vehicles, ensuring that volunteering is barrier-free.

Our health care rides program is generously funded through grants from the Sioux Empire United Way, the Avera and Sanford Health systems, and the generosity of individual and corporate donors around the Sioux Falls area. We are committed to working in and among the vulnerable people groups in Sioux Falls to bring healing and hope through transportation.

We are 501c3 organization (EIN 46-0358227). To review our current 990, click here.
