Donate Your Car to Charity

Helping Hands takes care of all the heavy lifting for you and us by towing and handling the sale of the vehicle. You can expect a minimum tax deduction of $500, but if your vehicle sells for more than that amount, you can claim the total sale price.

At the scheduled time, we will arrange the proper vehicle to tow your car, boat, truck, RV or travel trailer.

How long will it take to pick up my car?
