About Free Gas Cards Foundation

Our mission

To help eligible individuals and families experiencing financial hardship access transportation assistance and essential community resources.

Who we are

Free Gas Cards Foundation helps individuals and families manage essential transportation expenses related to employment, medical appointments, caregiving and other necessary travel. We give free gas cards directly to eligible applicants and connect people with other assistance programs and community resources.

History and milestones
