The Benefits Of Donating Your Vehicle
Better Than A Low Trade-In Offer
When you trade in a car, the offer is often below its real value, especially if it’s older.
You're Making A Difference
Your donation will significantly help us continue our mission of providing affordable home care services to older adults
Tax-Deductible Donation
​Vehicle donations are tax-deductible, meaning you could potentially lower your taxable income by itemizing this donation on your taxes
Avoid Ongoing Vehicle Costs
Donating helps you sidestep recurring expenses like registration, insurance, and repairs, which can add up even if the car is not in regular use
Skip The Hassle Of Selling
Avoid the time-consuming and costly process of selling a car like advertising, insurance, and repairs while waiting for a buyer.
Free Up Space
By donating, you can clear space at home or avoid paying for parking fees
