Non-Profit / Volunteer

We are honored to donate #142 vehicle to Sophia Trio, a graduating senior and an inspiring young woman who is on her way to Lander University on a full-ride scholarship!

Sophia is part of the McKinney-Vento Program in Charleston, SC, which supports unaccompanied youth who face housing instability. Despite the many challenges she’s encountered, Sophia has remained focused, determined, and driven, both academically and personally.

Sophia will have the transportation she needs to start her next chapter with confidence and independence. Whether it’s moving into her dorm, commuting to internships, or simply navigating day-to-day life, we hope this car gives her the freedom and stability she truly deserves.

For ways to help us to be able to continue doing donations and helping folks in need, please consider donating to our organization. Visit our website at Www.middletonsvillagetovillage.org and discover ways to donate a vehicle or funds to help fuel our drive.
