Vehicle Donation Program

Donate your car, truck, van, RV, or other vehicle and make a lasting impact in our community! Our Vehicle Donation Program makes it simple and hassle-free to give—whether your car runs or not. All of the details are handled, from free pick-up and towing to providing you with the proper tax deduction paperwork. Your generous gift helps us continue our mission of supporting older adults and strengthening local programs that make a difference every day.

When you donate a vehicle, you’re not just clearing space in your driveway—you’re fueling opportunities, services, and support for those who need it most. Join others in turning unused vehicles into something meaningful.
