Your Vehicle Donation Changes Lives

The proceeds from the sale of your vehicle will help fund ministries that are feeding the hungry, housing those without homes and providing care and comfort to seniors, veterans and other vulnerable people.

Tax benefits

If your vehicle brings more than $500, you will receive a receipt for the sale price. For sales of less than $500, you may claim the fair market value, up to $500. Your donation is tax-deductible.
