Donate Your Car to Support Homeownership! [VIDEO]

Do you have a car you no longer need? Consider making a Cars for Homes™ vehicle donation to benefit Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity!

If you have an older car, truck, van, trailer, RV, or boat taking up valuable space in your yard, garage, or driveway, you can donate it to support affordable housing in the Twin Cities metro area. Your old vehicle can help another family on their journey to safe, stable homeownership!

Donations made through Twin Cities Habitat's Cars for Homes™ program can save you the time and energy of finding a buyer. Plus, proceeds from the sale of your donated vehicle will be used to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership in the Twin Cities community. It's quick and easy to donate a vehicle, whether it runs or not! Your donation may also be eligible for a tax deduction.

 

You can also donate in honor of someone or in someone's memory. Jenny donated her mother's vehicle and said, "This was my Mom's van until she died in 2018. She was an amazing person." Rebecca donated her car in honor of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, commenting that "their work with your organization for all these years is amazing. He would still be hammering away now if he could."

To start the donation process, all you need to do is call Cars for Homes toll-free at 1-877-277-4344 or make your boat, truck, RV, or car donation online and provide some information about your vehicle. Once accepted, you will be given more instructions regarding the car’s title processing. Then you'll coordinate with a local Habitat-authorized agent to arrange a pickup.

 

We Make the Process Easy

We asked a Cars for Homes donor about her experience with the program after hearing about it from a fellow Twin Cities Habitat supporter:

"The process was seamless. My husband contacted Cars for Homes and made the arrangements. They picked up the car on a flat bed one morningbye bye to our little Audi A3."

Seamless—that's what we like to hear! Are you interested in donating your car, truck, van, trailer, RV, or boat? Learn more about the Cars for Homes program.
