What Car Donations Do




By John Mancini

Many people ask why about most things in their lives, especially when it comes to a sacrifice that they must make. One of these aspects in life includes work done for noble causes. This includes donations, charity work and volunteer work for the greater good. Many people need to see on paper why they should do such a thing like donate their car. There are social reasons as well as personal reasons that you will want to donate a car. Read below for more.

The Social Reasons for Donating a Vehicle

The social reasons for car donations are innumerable. There are so many services that are available to the community when cars are donated. Volunteers of America has a Vehicle Donation Program that is dedicated to helping the community through the charitable donation of cars.

Volunteers of America offers children and youth services that are built for the purpose of protecting children, teenagers and families. There are also elderly services that offer retirement communities, meal programs and assisted living programs.

In addition to these, there are also emergency services, homeless services, and housing services that benefit from something as simple as donating a car. The goal is to reach out to the community and to keep the hungry fed and housed. The housing services help individuals who may never consider owning a home become first time homebuyers.

The Personal Reasons for Donating a Vehicle

There are many personal reasons to donate the car, boat, RV, SUV or other vehicle. The first is the sense that you have done something good for someone else. The feeling you have done something for the community will give you a greater sense of connection within the community.

Also, the process is much easier than trying to sell a car whether through a car company or through for sell by owner. There is also the financial aspect. Donating a car can be a nice tax write off and you can often save more off of taxes than you could actually sell the car for.
