Every month, easyauto123 donates a quality used car to someone who needs a lift - a family doing it tough, a local community group, or someone quietly making a difference.
Each month, we spotlight three remarkable stories: individuals or groups in genuine need, or doing good in their community. One is chosen to receive a car, donated by easyauto123. The others receive a financial contribution toward their cause.
This Cars for Good story highlights Anne Riley, a West Auckland volunteer and the heart behind Kai Avondale, a community food network supporting whānau across Avondale. Through dignity-first food support and grassroots leadership, Anne helps people doing it tough feel seen and supported. A Cars for Good vehicle donation, a 2017 Mazda Premacy, will help extend her reach and impact across the community.
This Cars for Good story highlights Tōtara Hospice, a New Zealand organisation providing specialist palliative care and holistic support to people and families during some of life’s most difficult moments. Through medical care, emotional support and compassion, the hospice helps ensure people feel supported and understood. A $1,000 Cars for Good donation from the easyauto123 North Harbour team will help support their vital work across the community.
This Cars for Good story highlights the North Shore Hospital Auxiliary, a volunteer-led organisation supporting patients, families and staff through essential equipment, services and compassionate care. From funding initiatives that improve comfort to volunteers who knit blankets for newborn babies, the Auxiliary plays a vital role in the hospital and wider community. A $1,000 Cars for Good donation from the easyauto123 North Harbour team will help support their ongoing work.
This Cars for Good story shares a quieter moment of support, involving the handover of a vehicle to assist a woman rebuilding her life after domestic and family violence. Delivered through Peggy’s Place, a Brisbane organisation providing safe accommodation and long-term support for women and children, the donation prioritised privacy, dignity and safety. It reflects the importance of support that is considered, respectful and not always public.
This story follows Nourish Street, a Brisbane-based grassroots charity providing practical support to people experiencing homelessness. From hot meals to essential supplies, their work centres on meeting immediate needs while treating people with dignity and care. A $1,000 Cars for Good donation will help Nourish Street continue delivering essential services across Brisbane’s northern communities.
This Cars for Good story explores the work of The Shaka Project, a mental health charity focused on encouraging conversations before people reach crisis. Through a simple approach built on checking in, asking again and creating space for honesty, the organisation helps make discussions about mental health easier to start. A $1,000 Cars for Good donation will support the delivery of free workshops across schools, sporting clubs and workplaces in and around Brisbane.
Transport isn’t a luxury… it’s a lifeline. For many New Zealanders, not having a car means missing out on work, education, support services, or staying connected. It’s a barrier that keeps people stuck - even when they’re ready to move forward. We’re changing that. One car at a time.
Cars for Good is a community initiative by easyauto123. It’s our way of doing what we do best - using cars to help people move forward. Every month, we gift a fully prepped vehicle to someone who truly needs it. No gimmicks. No competitions. Just simple, consistent support - where it matters most.
Each month, we help someone take a step forward - with a car that makes a real difference. No gimmicks. No competitions. Just practical support, where it matters most.
Our team identifies individuals, families, or community groups doing it tough or doing good — where a car could genuinely change what’s possible.
We review each story closely and select one recipient based on real need and the positive impact a vehicle could have.
The car is delivered in a way that’s thoughtful and memorable — often with support from their local community.
Every car we donate helps rewrite a story:
A parent rebuilding after hardship
A volunteer keeping community wheels turning
A local group doing more with less
These aren’t just handovers. They’re steps forward.
At easyauto123, we’ve always believed a car can do more than get you from A to B. It can open doors. It can reconnect people. It can change lives. Cars for Good is our way of giving back — one car, one story, one community at a time.
