MidSouth Hope Garage
Marshall County, MS
Mid South Hope Garage (MHG) are people serving the Lord through helping those in need of transportation throughout the MidSouth (Memphis and the surrounding areas). Transportation is a basic need that we can help with, with God's help! We take donated vehicles, fix them up, and help to bless someone else with that vehicle. Use the icons below to connect with us!

God continues to provide, and we are so thankful!
We’re experiencing incredible growth at MidSouth Hope Garage this year—car donations have more than doubled, from 6 at this point in 2025 to 15 already in 2026.
This Saturday, we’ll celebrate giving away our 7th car of the year—and our 88th car overall. Every one of these cars represents a life being changed.
But here’s the reality: more donated cars means more repairs, more parts, and more costs to get each vehicle safely on the road. Right now, funding is the only thing standing between these cars and the families who need them.That’s where you come in.
A one-time or monthly gift helps turn a donated car into reliable transportation—giving someone the ability to get to work, care for their family, and move forward with dignity and hope.
Would you consider making a gift today and being part of that story?
We’ve given away 6 cars so far in 2026 and will celebrate our 7th this Saturday during our volunteer day. Please keep our recipients in your prayers as they step toward stability and independence.
Each recipient receives a vehicle, a Bible, a devotional, and an emergency car care kit thanks to our generous partners in the ministry. Find out how you can help at www.midsouthhopegarage.org!
We’re also grateful for and praying over the ministries we partner with as they serve our community.
Please pray for:
Each recipient of their cars would come to know Jesus and see His love and care for them from our interactions
God to protect their recipients in their cars
The Board of Directors and Staff
The other nonprofits and ministries they work with

So far this year, we have gifted 2 cars with many more on the docket. We have a pretty big back log of vehicles we are trying to get out as soon as possible, and we are so thankful for the car donations we've gotten recently!
We have been featured by 2 different media outlets just recently! CityCurrent featured us on their show The Spark, featured on WKNO! Additionally, a magazine calledBold Journey featured Midsouth Hope Garage. We are so thankful to be featured and to be able to share our ministry.
Our volunteer day (mechanics only this time please!) is THIS Saturday 2/24 from 8:30-12. We hope you can join us.
We sent out time sensitive invitations, prayer requests and updates to our GroupMe. Would you like to join us? Request to join here.
We do want to thank you all for your support, prayers and love! We would not be able to do what we do without the army of volunteers standing behind us in so many ways.
We are praying fervently for God to provide both monthly donors, and a garage we can begin to repair cars from (we need both to support the effort!) We get messages and emails almost daily asking for car repair help, and we really think this would make an amazing impact for Jesus in our community.
Save the date! We are looking for mechanics for these days, as we have quite a few cars to get ready to go before they can be cleaned!
PRAYER REQUESTS
Our biggest desire would be that you would PRAY for us.

We are hoping to gift these to each of our car recipients this coming year! Would you consider purchasing one from our amazon wish list? We have one more left, and then we are out so we desperately need some more to keep up with our vehicle gifts!
We are starting 2024 out strong with our most recent car gift to a participant with Refugee Memphis. He plans to use the car to work, as well as transport his big family. Please pray for his family!
Car gift #2 of the year was given to a mama who has worked hard to protect her children and build a new life. She as thrilled to recieve this gift, and we were just as thrilled to get to participate in giving it to her!

10/4/2023 - We are wrapping up our third year and are blown away by how God has grown the ministry and used it in the Memphis community to love others. God has blessed us tremendously, and we are on target to meet our goal of gifting 30 cars this year!
Our next volunteer day is Saturday, the 28th. Our goal is to finish all of our 2023 cars by this date to gift in November. We have a referral partner meeting on November 3rd and would love for you to attend if interested. We also are having a fall family night at our shop on November 11th. We will have a chili cook off, bounce houses, hay ride, silent auction, smores and worship around a bonfire. We'd love for you and your family to join us for this night in celebrating how God has provided for us this year.
Thank you for your support and prayers. We couldn't do this without either.
