Donated Cars For The Needy
Most likely, you are familiar with the trendy benefit of donating your car and receiving a tax deduction. Thousands of donors across America seem to love that idea. Then the proceeds are given to the specific charity. However, did you know that you are helping someone else too?
Unfortunately, there are thousands of hard working American citizens that can not afford to buy a car at a dealership. In addition, many people are unable to rely on public sources of transportation due to conflicts with their job. Due to generous car donations, these individuals are able to buy the donated cars at a price they can afford.
Sometimes, all a person needs is a car that can get them to work and back. When you donate your car, you could be improving the quality of life for another!
Donating an Old and Wrecked Car
Meet Joe. Joe was once an employee at GM in Detroit, Michigan. However, after he was laid off, he found himself with no source of income to help feed his family of three. Joe admitted that he thought they might lose their home. Joe was a great mechanic, but there were no jobs available to him at the time.
With God watching over him, Joe was introduced to the folks at a car donation lot. There were some newer cars that ran well and there were some cars that needed some major repairs. Joe offered to help them repair the cars so they were safe for the roads. The folks at Cars Helping Veterans were so pleased with his work, that they hired him as the lead auto mechanic! While Joe shyly admitted that he wished he was getting paid more, he understood that he was working for a non-profit charity. He felt happy to work in an environment that helped people in need. After all, he understood what it felt like to be unemployed.
Donors enjoy the benefits of giving their car to charity by receiving a tax deduction. However, donors should also be pleased to know that they are helping the less fortunate to find a car that will meet their needs.

Great content! If we have an old model car that is no longer in use, the best idea is to donate it. Your donation will support families, veterans, and children who need your help.
Great post! I think donating your car for charity is such a great way to make a big difference.
Many people are not aware that car recycling networks also come to collect your car for free so the hard work is already done!
Thanks for sharing!
I suggest that before donating anything,make some research before donating.If you pick a bad charity - little likelihood that your funds will be well spent effectively.Choose a charity that is transparent and reliable at the same time.
