Who can benefit from your car donation? Everyone!
The positive affects seen after you donate your car to
Vehicles For Change are far reaching. Not only will you provide the opportunity
for financial independence and an improved family life, you will save
tax payers millions of dollars. On average, a family of three costs $9,360
in Temporary Cash Assistance and Food Stamps each year*. Your car
donation helps keep families off state assistance and reduces
taxes for everyone!

Recipient Results - Your Car Makes a Difference
Our 2003 study of 155 recipients revealed that owning a car has a significant
impact on the earning ability of the individual and the lifestyle of the
entire family. The study revealed 73% of Vehicles For Change (VFC) recipients
obtained better jobs/promotions and increased their income by an average
of $4,558. This increase gives families the opportunity to sell the donated
car for more than what they paid and put money down on another car when
ready.
In terms of lifestyle, the changes are just as dramatic. Recipients of
used car donations through VFC feel better about themselves, the independence
they have gained and what they can do for their children. They are feeling
healthier and less stressed. They are attending religious services on
a regular basis, caring for aging family members and spending more time
with family and friends. Most importantly their car has helped strengthen
the family structure, an important key in reducing poverty. When you donate
your car, children have more opportunities than ever. After school activities,
sports and recreational programs are the most common. All customers stated
they are now able to get their children to doctor's appointments and daycare.
Your car is the difference between dependency and self sufficiency. Click
