Donate your vehicle

The lack of access to a personal vehicle often prevents individuals from accessing employment opportunities and resources in areas with little public transit access.

Donate your vehicle or support a vehicle donation program to help those living below the NPPS obtain access to reliable, personal transportation.

To get started:

  1. Identify programs that accept car donations.

  2. Volunteer your time and expertise to programs that provide vehicles, help individuals obtain driver’s licenses, or assist with vehicle repairs. 

  3. Donate funds or make a tax-deductible vehicle donation.
