At Fayette County Habitat for Humanity, we’re always looking for creative ways to raise the funds needed to support our mission of providing safe, affordable housing to families in need. One of the easiest ways you can contribute is by donating your old or unused vehicle. Through our partnership with Habitat for Humanity’s "Cars for Homes" program, your vehicle donation can go a long way in helping build homes and strengthen communities.
How the "Cars for Homes" Program Works
Donating your vehicle is easier than you might think, and it doesn’t matter whether your car is running or not. Here’s a quick breakdown of how the process works:
1. Contact Us to Donate Your Vehicle: It’s simple! Just fill out the donation form on our website or call the number provided to schedule your donation. Whether it’s a car, truck, RV, or even a boat, we accept most vehicles in almost any condition.
2. Free Towing: Don’t worry about how you’ll get your vehicle to us. Once you’ve arranged your donation, we’ll send a tow truck to pick up your vehicle at no cost to you, anywhere in the Fayette County area.
3. Vehicle Auction or Recycling: After your vehicle is picked up, it will either be sold at auction or, if it isn’t in sellable condition, recycled. The proceeds from the sale will directly benefit Fayette County Habitat for Humanity, helping fund home construction projects for families in need.
4. Tax Deduction: Donating your vehicle may qualify you for a tax deduction. You will receive a donation receipt that you can use when filing your taxes.
Why Your Vehicle Donation Matters
Vehicle donations are a key source of funding for Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to build homes for families. The money raised from your donation helps to cover construction costs, purchase building materials, and fund other essential Habitat programs.
In addition to supporting Habitat’s projects, your donation also has a positive environmental impact. When vehicles are recycled or sold, they are kept out of landfills and repurposed for beneficial causes, making your donation a win-win for both people and the planet.
Donating Is Quick, Easy, and Free
Not only is donating your vehicle a simple process, but it also comes at no cost to you. We provide free towing, whether the vehicle is operational or not. Even if your vehicle is no longer running, it still has value and can help build a brighter future for a family in need.
When you donate, you’ll know that your car is more than just a vehicle—it’s a key part of someone’s future. Your contribution helps provide a "hand up, not a handout," as families work alongside Habitat volunteers to build homes, create stronger communities, and achieve the dream of homeownership.
Call to Action:
If you’ve got a car, truck, RV, or boat that’s sitting unused, consider donating it to Fayette County Habitat for Humanity today. Your donation will help fund local home-building projects and provide safe, affordable housing to families in need.
