You get to choose where the money raised from your car donation goes to when you opt for vehicle donation with the American Red Cross…and boy do you have a heap to choose from. The American Red Cross is involved in providing emergency services in response to disasters – either natural, like tornadoes and hurricanes, or manmade like fires and explosions. They don’t ask questions about who to help they just help everyone who needs them . Your auto donation could help to provide medical resources and transport, training in first aid, community and youth education programs to prevent the spread of disease and infection and employment for those who need work…because they can and because there’s the need.

Maybe you don’t have time to be a volunteer ; you might not have the means to sponsor a project and you might not be able to attend a blood drive because of health complications. You can still help by raising awareness and if you happen to have an old car you are considering getting rid of – donate your car to the American Red Cross. Not only would your vehicle donation help to further the work of this magnificent charity but it won’t cost you a thing; getting in touch with the organization and collection of the car are absolutely free. Take down this number, or even better if you are in a position to make an immediate auto donation, dial it now…800-737-0165 and talk to the operator who will ask for your address details so they can arrange pick up of your car donation.

Once your vehicle is with the American Red Cross they will put it into an auction sale and use the money made from its sale to replenish the supplies so needed in emergencies or fund one of their programs unless you specifically state where you want the proceeds to go, which you are perfectly entitled to do. The American Red Cross will honor your request and make sure that your help goes to where you want it to go. If for some reason you can’t make a donation , do your best to let as many of your friends know as possible.
