Food pantries and community shelters are finding it more and more difficult to meet the needs of record high numbers of people in need of services. High unemployment rates, combined with lower levels of funding have left charities scrambling for ways to raise the money necessary to feed the hungry and provide shelter for the homeless and abused. And, while charities realize it is not feasible to expect sizeable cash donations during these tough economic times, they urge you to consider an alternative type of support this holiday season, that is, a car donation.
This is the perfect time of year to do something worthwhile with that old car or truck that’s been sitting idle in your yard, for weeks, months, or years. It doesn’t matter whether your car is running or not. Donating a vehicle is beneficial to you and the charity you choose to help! By choosing to donate right now, you will provide a charity with the cash they need to fulfill their holiday goals. In addition, you will have your old vehicle removed from your yard, free of charge before the snow arrives, and you will receive an IRS-approved donation receipt allowing you to take a generous tax deduction.
There are over 85 different charities your car donation could help by calling Cars Helping America, their authorized donation agent at 978-304-3024. You can also donate a car on-line at www.carshelpingamerica.org. Your car will be picked up promptly and sold so that your designated charity receives a valuable cash gift from you. Let your old cars and trucks drive the hope for tomorrow!
