Wheels to Work
This program offers low-cost vehicles and repairs to struggling Marathon County families. The program also connects individuals with financial guidance and community help agencies. Wheels to Work requires individuals to go through a financial management class, a one-on-one budgeting course and a vehicle maintenance class in order to qualify for assistance.
