"Cars For Homes" Program Benefits Fluvanna Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity has recently launched a nationwide "Cars for Homes" vehicle donation program and Fluvanna County Habitat for Humanity Chapter has already benefited from this program.
Cars for Homes takes donated cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, RVs and other vehicles and sells them through automobile auctions, recyclers or salvage yards to raise funds that help build simple, decent homes. Funds generated from vehicle sales benefit the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate and community where the donation is made.
Donors can call the Cars for Homes toll-free number or process their car donation online. Donor contact, title, and vehicle information is collected and, upon acceptance of the donation, arrangements are made for the vehicle, keys and title to be picked up for processing. Habitat for Humanity receives between 70 and 80 percent of the sales proceeds after towing fees and other expenses. Donors receive an acknowledgement letter for their car donation and can check with the Internal Revenue Service or their tax advisor for information on the tax deductibility of their donation.
For more information contact Habitat for Humanity Cars for Homes at 1-877-277-4344 (toll-free) or at www.carsforhomes.org.
