Celebrate National Car Care Month by Donating Your Vehicle to Catholic Charities of New York
Did you know that National Car Care Month happens not just once, but twice a year, every April and October? These months are perfect for giving your car the TLC it needs before the extremes of summer and winter. But they also offer a unique opportunity to go beyond routine maintenance: you can use car care season to care for others, too.
If you have an old vehicle, whether it’s running or not, you can put it to good use by donating it to Catholic Charities of New York. It’s a simple act with a powerful impact.
Why Donate Your Car?
When you donate a car to Catholic Charities of New York, you’re not just clearing space in your garage, you’re directly helping struggling New Yorkers in need. Proceeds from your donation support life-changing services like:
- Emergency food and shelter
- Job training and employment assistance
- Immigration legal aid
- Services for the elderly and disabled
- Support for families in crisis
Your used vehicle can be a lifeline for someone facing hardship.
It’s Easy to Make a Difference
Donating your vehicle is quick and hassle-free. Catholic Charities of New York accepts:
- Cars, trucks, and vans
- Motorcycles
- Boats and RVs
- Running or non-running vehicles
All you need to do is fill out a short form on the vehicle donation page at Catholic Charities of New York’s website, or call the dedicated donation line. They’ll even tow your vehicle for free, no matter its condition.
April and October: The Perfect Times to Give
Spring and fall are natural times to reassess your vehicle’s condition. If it’s no longer reliable or no longer serving your needs, please consider this: instead of selling or storing it, you can transform it into hope for someone else at Catholic Charities of New York.
Take part in National Car Care Month with a charitable twist. Clean out your garage and help clean up someone’s life at the same time. Because car care can mean community care.
