About usHi, I'm Deloris Coaker, a black entrepreneur and the founder of Community Wheels Inc. CWI was founded in 1990 in Madison, Wisconsin when I was 23yrs old to assist low-income families with transportation needs. I was able to get started with my own savings and keeping a part time job. After researching how to write grants and where to get assistance, I was able to obtain funding from varies sources some including: Dean Health Care, The Evjue Foundation, The Madison Community Foundation and support from both businesses and the community itself. Then a major supporter came in 1992 from United Way of Dane County 1992-2001. Later in 1999 I opened a auto repair shop and a car dealership. In 2003 after so many years of helping others and working more then 60-70 hours a week. and added family stress. I became ill and temporarily closed Community Wheels. After a few years of rest, I couldn't seem to stop wanting to help people with repair needs. So keeping true to my form, I reopened CWI again, and in 2006 I retained 501c3 status with the IRS. Same goal and mission to help families maintain transportation by network with auto repair shops to offer discounts on auto repairs. In 2009 I will be launching 2 additional help programs. "Auto Repair Auction Site" and Cash For Repair assistance." Our Mission
