Consider Donating Your Old Car to Charity

Cars Donated to Charity


Thinking of buying a new car or truck?

Yark Subaru in Toledo, Ohio can help you.


Thinking your old car or truck isn’t worth much as a trade in?


If you expect to get very little money for your trade-in, consider donating your old car to a charity instead.


There are benefits in doing so. In many cases, you may get a tax credit for it. In every case, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that some less fortunate person now has the car he/she needs to get around.


Here are several well-known charities that accept car donations. There may be many more.

Salvation Army:
