NKY man offers free car service to low-income families, earns national award for his work

Bruce Kintner of Cold Spring was selected as a 2024 National Jefferson Award winner for his dedication to providing free car maintenance to low-income families through the Samaritan Car Care Clinic .
Kintner started the Samaritan Car Care Clinic in 2007 after a reverend at the Madison Avenue Christian Church told him low-income single mothers in their community needed help with car repairs.
