subject: Donating Your Car To Florida Charities [print this page] You probably already know that you can donate your car to Florida charities, but do you know how the process works? There are several different Florida charities that gladly take all kinds of donations, from cars, clothing items and toys for children to your unwanted vehicles. Many of them will take just about anything even if you have a boat that you would like to donate, an organization can auction it off at a charity event to raise money for their funds. The possibilities really are endless.
One organization that will gladly accept your vehicle is the Florida Council for the Blind, which is one of the most popular charities in the region as well as the oldest. The organization helps those with visual impairments find work opportunities. When you donate your vehicle to this Florida charity, it very well might be used to shuttle the members of the group from one place to another, such as from their home to their workplace and back.
You can also donate your vehicle to the Florida Gulf Coast Paralyzed Veterans of America, which provides dozens of services to war veterans who have lost their mobility, so there are many good uses for your unwanted vehicle.
The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation is another good Florida charity to donate your vehicle or anything else to. Multiple Sclerosis is a serious disease that causes the cells of a persons body to harden, resulting in severe lack of mobility, paralyzation, and sometimes the illness stricken succumb to complications resulting from the disease, such as pneumonia. When a person is unable to move for long periods of time, fluid can collect in the lungs because there is no movement to push it through. Pneumonia can develop, of which a person may die from. This foundation leads the way in research and the funding of many projects that work to improve the lives of these patients, so there are several ways that your car donation can help.
Habitat for Humanity is another Florida charity that can always use volunteer time and effort. As you probably know, this group builds homes for families who could otherwise not afford one without help. Most people may not have an old car lying around that we can just give away to Florida charities, but other types of donations in the form of money, food, clothing, and your time make all the difference to hundreds and thousands of people every day across the state.
