If you have ever heard of the Habitat for Humanity
car donation program, you may be wondering what its all about. Well this program (which is also known as Cars for Homes) is one way the well-known, charitable organization gets the money necessary to help families in need.
Every year, Habitat for Humanity gives aid to thousands of families who are either homeless, or living in sub-standard housing. How? By helping them to build quality, affordable homes. And the Habitat for Humanity car donation program is one way they subsidize their continuing efforts.
Every car has value. Even an old junker that hasn't run in years and looks like it is about to fall apart is worth something. If a car can no longer be driven, it can be recycled. So, instead of having the car towed away and tossed in a junk yard somewhere where it will be all but forgotten, the owner of the vehicle
can give it to Habitat for Humanity car donation program. The car will be sold at auction, and the proceeds will be used to help struggling families, both in your community and around the world.
There are also tax benefits to donating a car to Cars for Homes. After the car is sold, you will be given a receipt by Habitat for Humanity. If you itemize deductions on your income tax return, you might be able to deduct the full selling price of the car.
The process of donating a car to Cars for Homes is easier than some might think. In fact, Habit for Humanity takes care of most of the process. They will even pick the car up from wherever it happens to be.
