JACKSBORO, Tenn. (WATE) — A mother in Campbell County received a car free of charge on Friday through a nonprofit program helping put people in need on the path to success.
Redemptive Automotive Ministries is a nonprofit organization founded in 2025 by Mark Weaver to serve Campbell County and the surrounding areas by restoring donated vehicles and gifting them to people in need. It also trains people in recovery for careers in the automotive industry.

Officials gathered Friday at the Campbell County Courthouse for a ceremony to award the refurbished car to a single mother who was nominated through the Safe Baby Court program.
“This is just me taking something that I know how to do and a gift that I’ve had and just using it for the good of my community to make my community better,” said Redemptive Automotive Ministries President Mark Weaver.
Weaver is a managing partner at White’s Tire & Auto Care in LaFollette, where he has worked an automotive technician for over a decade. His team restores the donated vehicles there after regular business hours.
