Mile Marker ZERO
Because All roads start somewhere.
This website and the program behind it represent the fulfillment of a vision that had its start many years ago.
In 2011, this vision came to life in the form of The Road Home, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by a group of compassionate and generous automotive enthusiasts.
The mission of The Road Home is clearly stated in our motto: We aim to help restore lives, one classic car at a time.
We feel that the automotive restoration industry and the collector cars at its heart make a unique platform on which opportunities can be built. After all, many veterans have mechanical aptitude and training — and who doesn't love classic cars?
Both the returning veteran and the auto shop agree to a short-term commitment at a predetermined level of engagement – from just hanging out, to hands-on training, to paid employment.
We are currently in the process of building our network of host facilities and veterans. If you are interested in being a part of this promising new program, please register using the appropriate form provided.
American Collectors Insurance is the charter sponsor of The Road Home. If you are interested in supporting our mission, you can make a donation by clicking here.
