In addition to effectively handling car donations within the USA, it is our mission to spread love, kindness, and generosity to others. Here at Cars2Charities we
value exceptional customer service and full transparency with our donors. With this in mind we created some resources that we think will be both helpful and
valuable for our donors and charities.
At some point, nearly every car owner faces the same question: what should I do with my old vehicle? Whether it’s a car that no longer fits your lifestyle, one that needs expensive repairs, or simply an extra vehicle sitting unused in the driveway, the options often come down to selling or donating. While selling might seem like the practical choice, more and more people are realizing that a car donation can be far more rewarding — both personally and socially.
When you think about making a difference in your community, donating your car might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet for many people facing homelessness, vehicle donations can become a lifeline. Through organizations like Cars2Charities, a simple act of generosity can create powerful ripple effects — funding shelters, transportation programs, and essential services that help individuals rebuild their lives.
