What exactly is a car donation?
A car donation is the process of making a gift to charity of a vehicle. A car donation can be a junk car that does not run, a big dually truck in perfect condition, or a daily driver vehicle that has just broken down or is no longer in tip top shape. Car donations can be used, after repairs from an organization like us, by families in need, organizations like churches and nonprofits and even rescue programs.
