Cats, dogs, horses, pigs, wolves…even donkeys! We serve charities

specializing in all sorts of critter care. One BC donor gave her Mazda to one such charity with a happy result!

Cats benefit from trusty SUV

Cats Anonymous is set to receive a strong donation from H.D. She wrote,

SUV runs like a dream – love it and would keep it but I’m living with and taking care of my parents. I use their car to take them to appointments and do the shopping so my car just sits in their driveway!

I rarely took it on the highway. Used mostly for shopping and taking the dogs out to the park! No scratches or dents that I know of and never been involved in an accident of any kind. I bought it brand new and I’ve been the only driver. It has been serviced by Mazda regularly and has only ever had to have tune ups. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it. Extremely reliable!

The angel is in the details

We love hearing our donor’s stories! When you fill in your online donation form you’ll have the chance to give us the particulars. You can see as little, or as much as you like. The more we know, the more accurately we can assign to process.

Our BC donor went on to note,
“Two of the tires have a slow leak so they need fixing or replacing. Also the passenger rear mirror is broken – just the mirror, the casing around it is intact. Oh, the passenger rear brake light cover is broken and needs replacing. The light works fine, so just the red cover needs replacing.”

Just a matter of finding the right buyer

With those helpful details in sight, we assigned H.D’s SUV to our auction house. A little spit ‘n polish and some patience later, and voila! The right buyer rolled through the auction lot and made a sturdy offer.

Cats Anonymous has their gift waiting for them in the mail. If this cause, or any one of the many animal charities we have benefiting here, is your charity of choice, click here:

Meet the D’Mello Family

A video is worth a thousand words (so three must be worth 3,000?)! Meet the family who has a mission to express their deep gratitude for RMHC South Central Ontario:

Welcoming three wee ones into the world came with unexpected challenges for one of the baby girls. The D’Mello family found themselves unexpectedly in need of supports extending far outside of their little crew of six.

Where the journey with RMHC South Central Ontario began for D’Mello crew

“As parents of spontaneous triplets (Josie, Chloe & Zoe) and our now 4 year old (Capri), our family faced
unimaginable challenges when one of our daughters, Josie, was diagnosed
with severe Cerebral Palsy.“

“During countless hospital admissions and
extended stays totaling 200+ days, Ronald McDonald House provided us with
far more than just a place to sleep, it gave us comfort, hope, support, and
a sense of normalcy during an incredibly difficult chapter of our lives.

The staff, volunteers, and supporters made us feel welcomed and cared for
every single day. They truly created a home away from home for our family
when we needed it most.”

Dad goes on to say, “The Ronald McDonald House means so much to our family. During one of the
most difficult times in our lives, the House and its incredible staff, volunteers, and supporters made it feel like a true home away from home. We were truly blessed to have had the opportunity to stay there while our
daughter received care.”

A peek at some of Josie’s journey

The family writes, “As a small token of our appreciation, we are honoured to donate our Dodge
Caravan and Toyota Corolla. We hope that its value can help support other
families who may find themselves walking a similar path.“

Why folx like you give like you do

You’re probably ready to set up an RMHC car donation right now!

Every vehicle donor that rolls through the Donate a Car Canada program has a story to tell. Often that story is directly connected to why they choose the charity they do. Experiences run through with deep care, worry, and struggle compel donation for charities like Ronald McDonald House, hospital foundations, and other health-based charities.

Committed care for animal welfare, the environment, and human rights are the driving force for many vehicle donors.

A helpful little side note: Have you discovered CanadaHelps, yet? They’re a one-of-a-kind resource for discovering Canadian charities. What does that have to do with your vehicle donation? Well, ANY Canadian charity can receive your gift. So, you can support the cause the is most alive and inspiring for you. We give where we care. You caring in this way matters!

And why we do what we do

That is why we do what we do. Because caring Canadians and their stories matter. Families like the D’Mello crew are the very heart of what we do every day. It’s special for us to be offered a peek into this special family and this part of their ever-deepening story!

Their RMHC car donation — X2! — touched our entire staff in one way or another. They are a family who champions gratitude and generosity. In our experience, they are a reflection of something so true of Canadians across the country! The carers who keep charities like Ronald McDonald House operating strong. The donors who help keep the lights on. We’re all in this together!

Playing it cool

“Hasn’t been driven in 3 years. May need new gas, oil change.” We couldn’t have known, based on this unassuming, two-sentence description, that B.H. was donating a gem. His Porsche Cayman blew our minds on sale day!

Now, it’s not every day that a unique vehicle like this comes rolling through our program. Every donated vehicle is carefully considered upon application. Some are salvage ready; others are ready to find a new home.

We note year, make and model, as well as mileage on each unit. The overall condition of each vehicle is noted. We rely heavily on the information that the donor provides for this. Whether a car is a clunker or cream of the crop, we are careful to assign it to the process that will bring the highest donation return possible.

And, when a Porsche Cayman cruises in, we take a good long look.

We did not expect the multi-digit donation outcome that would result from this beauty’s sale at auction!

Donor turns his generous attention toward helping fellow Canadians

When you donate a vehicle through Donate a Car Canada you can select any charity in the country as recipient for your gift. You read that right! ANY registered Canadian charity can accept vehicle donations here!

Every now and then a donor will express the “Why!” of their charity of choice.

More often, folx just quietly fill in their donation form. They add a few vehicle notes. Tow particulars are provided. No story or explanation of why they are choosing their charity is offered.

This was the case with B.H.

He simply stated his vehicle details and contact information.

Then, he scrolled through our list of receiving organizations and selected the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP). This is a faith-based charity that works to, “practically resolve issues, one neighbour in need at a time, and give voice to the voiceless with love, respect, justice, hope and joy.”

A bit more about the Vincentians

“Founded in 1833, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) is an international lay organization, united in the mission to serve persons in need. In Canada alone, the SSVP helps more than 350,000 people each year. We provide material support in the form of non-perishable food, clothes, household items and furniture to individuals and families across the country. Whether in their homes, on the street, in shelters, in hospitals or in prison, our work knows no boundaries. The Society also provides assistance to refugees, immigrants, and northern communities.  Our founding activity, still practiced today, is the Home Visit. Through these visits, our members, known as Vincentians, establish personal relationships with persons in need by offering material assistance, as well as friendship and understanding.”

It’s easy to see why B.H. directed his gift toward the society! And, oh what a gift it was!

Rolling that Porsche Cayman through the auction lanes

The Cayman was put up for sale late in May. Buyers were interested, and bids were strong! The Porsche sold well and by the end of June we had received payment and were ready to disburse B.H.’s gift to the society!

The final gift sent off to the charity? $46,215.70 was gifted to facilitate housing, social justice, advocacy, youth support, and special projects!

The as easy as 1-2-3 donation process

You may not have a donation-ready Porsche available to donate at the moment. Understandable! B.H.’s donation was a rarity indeed! But every car counts here at Donate a Car Canada. Every dollar raised through re-sale AND recycling adds up to hundreds and thousands of dollars for charity.

The unused/unwanted vehicle sitting in your driveway is moments away from its free tow.

First, fill in our online donation form. You’ll promptly receive some email communications from us outlining the details of your supporting agent, your donation outcome potential, and the overall process.

Then, sit back and wait for you agent to call you to arrange your free tow.

Finally, watch your inbox for your tax receipt.

It really is that easy. And we would love to work with you on behalf of your charity! Whether your vehicle brings a donation of $46,000.00 or $460.00, it will be a joy to work together for the cause you love.

Disability pride explored in colour

The disability pride flag is flyin’ high through the month of July! Here’s the meaning behind what you’re seeing:

• All six flag colors: Disability spans borders between nations
• Black background: Mourning for victims of ableist violence and abuse
• Diagonal Band: Cutting across the walls and barriers that separate disabled people from society
• Red Stripe: Physical disabilities
• Gold Stripe: Neurodivergence
• White Stripe: Invisible and undiagnosed disabilities
• Blue Stripe: Psychiatric disabilities
• Green Stripe: Sensory disabilities

How can we honour disability pride? What our charities have to say

The BC Epilepsy Society (one of our receiving charities) noted this on one of their social media posts this week,

“This month, we celebrate the diversity, experiences, and contributions of everyone in the disability community while recognizing the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and belonging. For many of us living with epilepsy, disability can be visible, invisible, or experienced differently from one person to the next. Every experience is valid, and every voice matters. Together, we can help build communities where everyone is respected, included, and supported.”

The Cochrane Public Library offers a challenge. “Disability Pride Month aims to change the way the world views disability—promoting it not as something to be fixed, but as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity. 22 percent of Canadians—about 6.2 million people—live with a disability.“

A better place when all are included

Big Brothers Big Sisters posts, “Every July, we celebrate Disability Pride Month, a time to recognize and honour the diversity, achievements, and lived experiences of people with disabilities. This year’s theme, The World Works Better With Us, highlights the importance of meaningful inclusion, accessibility, and respect in our workplaces, communities, and everyday lives.”

And the Centre for Autism Services chimes, “Every year in July, Disability Pride Month celebrates persons who experience disability, their identities and culture, and their positive contributions to society. It aims to change the way people think about disability and promotes all types of disability as a natural part of human diversity. Disability Pride Month has been celebrated in the United States since July 1990 when the Americans with Disabilities Act came into law. Today, it is celebrated around the world, including in Canada, where 22 per cent or 6.2 million Canadians live with a disability. Did you know the gold stripe in the Disability Pride Flag represents Neurodivergence? Let’s use this month to learn about, understand, and celebrate persons with disabilities, and work together to create more respectful and inclusive communities all year long!”

You can make it happen!

You can play a part in creating an inclusive and always-dignifying Canada! Start close to home! Then, learn about and build relationship with the people right around you that live with disabilities. It can be helpful to remember that many (many!) disabilities are invisible. Do your part to be the diagonal band on that flag! Let’s remove barriers; let’s leave behind ableist and exclusionary beliefs and practices!

One hands-on way to make a difference today? Explore the charities in your community that are championing folx with diverse abilities. These charities have been tending this work for decades. You can help them continue their Good Work! Where do we start? We can begin by getting involved, volunteering, and giving!

Your two and four wheel scrappers can be part of community building!

Those charities that you discover in your neighbourhood? They are receiving vehicle donations. Re-sold or recycled, each donated vehicle results in a monetary gift for your charity of choice! It’s simple, quick, and free — for you and for your charity of choice!

First, fill in an online donation form. This will take just a few minutes. Then, sit back and wait for your tow crew to give you a call and arrange your free tow. Finally, watch your inbox. Your tax receipt is on its way!

Most importantly, let’s expand our understanding of our fellow Canadians this Disability Pride month! Spending a couple of minutes acknowledging their flag and all that it represents is a good place to start. From there, the opportunities are as limitless as your imagination!

We are excited to work together with you on this!

Kia Borrego donor makes a difference

When C.M. arrived in our system with their KIA donation late in June, we had to pause. “What is a KIA Borrego?” we wondered. The model just didn’t ring a bell. That, it turns out, was for good reason. This SUV had an unusually short run. But more on that later.

With a little more digging I discovered that we’d actually seen another Borrego donation…almost 10 years ago! Back in 2018 a Calgary KIA donor gifted a re-sale ready Borrego. Sent to auction, it raised a gift of $664.87 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada!

C.M.’s SUV was donated ready for its last ride. Our agent deemed it recycle-ready and a gift of several hundred dollars will be sent to the donor’s chosen charity. They note,

“I recently donated my 2009 KIA Borrego to Donate a Car Canada with proceeds going to Windsor Cancer Care Foundation. I was very pleased with the entire process dealing with Donate a Car. They explained everything clearly, returned calls promptly and arrived to pick up my car right on time. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would definitely recommend them if you have a vehicle you no longer need.“

A bit more about this unique vehicle

Consumer Reports describes it best, “The Borrego has traditional body-on-frame construction and impressive towing capacity. The 3.8-liter V6 delivers strong and refined performance and 16 mpg overall. A 4.6-liter V8 is optional. Steering is responsive but handling can get a bit lumbering. Emergency handling can be disconcerting, but stability control keeps it ultimately secure. The ride is stiff and punishing and the Borrego tends to heave and pitch in bumpy corners. Interior room is generous, with a useful third-row seat, and the quiet cabin is well-finished. Controls are simple and there is lots of equipment for the price. The Borrego was discontinued after the 2009 model.“

Another take:

“The Kia Borrego was a mid-sized SUV that offered seating for seven with options for a V6 or a more powerful V8 engine, with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. It featured plenty of interior options, multiple trim levels and a competitive price tag. Due to lackluster sales, Kia discontinued the model in 2010, with it only ever being in production for one year.” (https://www.jdpower.com/cars/history/kia/borrego)

Kia donors are kickin’ it coast-to-coast!

Curious about other Kia donations and their happy donors? Take a peep at another donor snapshot and be inspired to dive in on your own donation experience! The process is simple, quick, and free!

First, fill in an online donation form. Then, sit back and wait for your phone to ring. That will be your tow agent calling to arrange a free tow! Next, it’s just a matter of time until your tax receipt (from your charity of choice) shows up in your inbox.

Every car counts when you donate it! Whether re-sold or recycled, those donation dollars make all of the difference and we can’t wait to work with you in supporting the charity you care about.

A heart-warming tale right from Guild Festival Theatre’s GFT Times

A Father’s Day Story

What do you do with a half-burnt pickup truck? As it turns out, you can turn it into a gift to support the arts.

This Father’s Day, we’re sharing a story about a truck, a dad, and one final gift to Guild Festival Theatre.

Artistic Director Emeritus, Helen Juvonen, recently turned her late father’s pickup truck into a donation to GFT through Donate A Car Canada. In Helen’s words: 

“When my father passed away in 2022 I inherited his pick-up truck. He had loaned it to me several times over the years, often to haul set pieces all across the city.

The truck did a lot of heavy lifting for GFT – transporting the Drowning Girls bathtubs, audience chairs, and going on tour to Prescott and Port Perry, carrying all of Alice in Wonderland’s unusual props. It was even immortalized on film in my web series You’re Never Alone.

Act Two for a truck with Guild Festival Theatre ties

In April, while I was away in Prince George (and about 15 minutes before showtime) I got a call from Tyler. The truck had caught fire in our driveway. He wasn’t home at the time but our neighbours had quickly called 911. Nobody was hurt, there was some minor damage to our property, but our garbage bins had melted and the truck was…toast. We can’t be absolutely sure what happened but our best guess is that a rodent chewed a wire and its nest, or some other debris, caught on fire. But I think it was a sign from my dad – probably warning us that the cost of upkeep and gas wasn’t worth it anymore.

Now, what to do with a half-burnt pick-up truck? A little research led us to Donate-A-Car Canada. They sent a tow truck to haul it away, the truck was evaluated and we had $300 to donate to charity. It seemed fitting that its final act was a donation to the theatre. Thanks, Dad.“

This Father’s Day, we’re grateful for the many ways people leave a lasting legacy. If you have a vehicle you’re no longer using, Donate A Car Canada can help turn it into support for Guild Festival Theatre or another cause close to your heart.”

Act Three is yours to write!

Do you have a vehicle that’s ready to make a dramatic exit? Hopefully yours isn’t making its final bow as a result of a critter-provoked blaze!

Every car counts when supporting the arts in Canada. If your unused or unwanted vehicle is re-sale ready we will put it up for bids. It will sell as-is to the highest bidder.

If your vehicle has given you all its got to give we’ll recycle it.

Either way, the net proceeds from the process are disbursed to your Canadian charity of choice. Then, you receive a tax receipt!

We can’t wait to hear your story! We are excited to extend the legacy of your vehicle!

Supporting Canadian wildlife through Subaru donations

Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary is signed up! A generous Subaru Outback donor connected to donate their vehicle and named the refuge as their charity of choice. How exactly does this work?

Are you considering vehicle donation? Did you know that you can donate your van, truck, car, SUV, or motorcycle for ANY Canadian charity?

Your first stop is our online donation form. This will take you less than 10 minutes to complete. ‘Trouble with the form? Give us a call at 1-877-250-4904. We have lovely, funny, efficient humans happy to take your call.

Then, sit back and wait for our agent to give you a buzz to set up your free tow (Yup! Free!). After that? Just watch your in box for your tax receipt.

When you filling in your form you’ll find our list of charities. It is a long, long list! One recent donor jokingly said, “This process was all so easy…except scrolling all the way down to the “W’s” to find my chosen charity!”

How did charities get on that list?

Donor’s like our recent Subaru saint requested that the charity they love be added to the list. If your beloved local, regional, or national work is not already on our list you’ll be able to request that we get ‘er done. And we will!

What is the donation value of a Subaru?

The first “value” of every vehicle donation is the experience itself. You can expect exceptional donor support and the thrill of knowing you’ve made a difference for the cause you care about.

The Outback donor we mention above wrote in to say, “‘Application online was very fast and easy with a well designed online application. Response after application was prompt and informative. Tow service was prompt, friendly and efficient. They went above and beyond as I accidently locked all of the keys in the car as I prepared it for pickup. The driver came to the location of the car and patiently gained access then drove the car back to his shop with dealer plates. I found him very friendly, skilled and patient. A totally positive experience!“

But what about actual dollars and cents!?

An excellent experience is one thing. Making a cash-in-hand difference for the charity is next level! In the instance above, the Subaru was recycle ready and raised a donation of several hundred dollars for the WWS.

Salvage or scrap ready, every Impreza, Outback, Legacy, Forester, or Tribeca counts! Thousands of donation dollars are raised for charities like yours through these donations every year. Just a few of those charities in the last couple of months:

Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation

The Ottawa Mission

Hope for Wildlife Society

MS Canada

Toronto Cat Rescue

and G.R.I.S. – Montreal

We could keep this list growing, but there’s more to learn!

What if my car is in great condition and not ready for the scrap yard?

Whenever possible, our agents work diligently and capably to re-sell donated vehicles. This can be done through auction where vehicles are sold as-is to the highest bidder. Or, an agent might shop the Subaru (or any other amazing make) around to their substantial base of interested vehicle buyers.

Where a recycle-ready vehicle can bring in hundreds of dollars, a re-sale ready vehicle can bring in several thousand. Here is an example or two:

$1,232.25 was raised for the HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre! Thanks for donating your XVC, K.M.!

A ’92 SVX sold for $1,000.00. The donor’s chosen charity? BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.

$1,185.87 went to the Parkinson Association of Alberta thanks to J.R.’s Impreza donation!

Ready to roll with your own make-a-difference donation?

As we speak, we’re working on seventeen (17!) Subaru donations. Just this month alone! Whatever the make, model, mileage, and muster of your unused/unwanted vehicle, we’ll make it count for the cause you care about. We’re ready to put the pedal to the metal for you and your charity today!

Camry donors fill charity piggy banks one car at a time

‘Considering vehicle donation? These Camry donation outcomes might inspire you to punch the gas on your decision!

In the first few months of this year we’ve excitedly disbursed $618.55 to the Farley Foundation. A loving daughter facilitated the process on behalf of her father. $985.80 went to Autism Ontario, and $6,324.00 to Parkinson Canada! Re-sale ready vehicles earn big for every donor’s charity of choice.

Has your Toyota given you all it has to give? Whenever we are unable to re-sale a donated vehicle, it is recycled. Every year, hundreds of vehicles are scrapped for charity. Here are just a few organizations that have benefitted from scrapping a Camry in the past couple of months: The Scott Mission, Abbey Cat Adoptions, The Heart & Stroke Foundation, and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation! Each of these charities has received several hundred dollars in donations, and the Toyota donors have all received a tax receipt.

More Toyotas driving change

And wait! There’s more! Here are just a few more re-sale outcomes to celebrate:

$2731.40 raised for RMHC South Central Ontario

$7524.00 sent to Parkinson Canada

$821.50 disbursed to Parachutes for Pets

It just doesn’t get any more rewarding than this! Every Toyota counts! Actually, every vehicle counts — truck, car, van, SUV, and motorcycle. Sometimes we can even process and RV or a boat for your beloved charity!

Just tickled by Toyota donor feedback

One Toyota donor for the BC SPCA trilled that they were,

“Thrilled to share my experience…

Extremely fast and easy! It was so simple and way quicker than I ever expected.

Donate a Car Staff were very helpful and friendly! I got an email back with all of the information I could possibly need super quickly after I submitted my form.

My towing agent was lovely. The call to set everything up was very timely and he very kindly explained the process to me and was patient with all of my questions!

“Sad little car” makes for grateful and happy charity

I was beyond happy with the tow service! The morning of pickup I needed to provide a little extra
information and the driver went above and beyond to accommodate me and kindly took the extra time to buzz into my building and hide my plates as I was not home and sent me a picture of my sad little car all loaded up!

I really can’t say enough good things about this process and how simple everything was made for me, and I appreciate everything you all did each step of the way!
I would go this route in future for sure and will highly recommend it to others.

Thank you so so so much!!”

Camry donors keep the engine running

As I finish up this week’s post, we’re wrapping up a $600.00 Camry gift for The Ottawa Mission. SPCA Saskatoon will benefit from a rusty and salvage-ready Camry with a recycle donation outcome. Diabetes Canada and YFC London both have similar gift amounts coming to them at month end, as will a hospital foundation in BC.

This way of giving is simple and quick. Furthermore, it’s free! Free for you; free for your charity of choice.

The first step in donating is to fill in an online donation form. This will take just a few minutes. It will be helpful to have your VIN handy when you sit down to do it. ‘Not one for computers? No problem! Give us a call at 1-877-250-4904! We’re happy to take your information over the phone.

Then, watch your inbox for some email direction about next steps (including who you can expect to call to arrange your free tow).

Finally, sit back and wait for your tax receipt.

It really is that easy. And every car really does make such a difference for the charity you care about!

Heritage Office Furnishings 2026 breaking news!

If you thought this company was done at 17 vehicles, then you couldn’t be more mistaken! The count is at 20 vehicles donated by Heritage Office Furnishings / WDI for their charities of choice! So many minivans making such a big difference!

November 2021 update

Make that 18 vehicles! ‘Company adds one more fleet HHR to all of the Goodness you’ll read about below:

Company giving helps more than charity

In the summer of 2021 we celebrated an anniversary of sorts! We first encountered Heritage Office Furnishings six years ago. Almost to the day of this original post. From the start they set themselves apart as a special donor. Their first gift? Three (3) vehicles!

Ever so quietly, HOF has continued this practice of giving. Just this month they donated yet another Chevy. Without fanfare they give Dodge after Chevy…after Dodge. This kind of Goodness is about more than just money. In so giving,

• Heritage Office Furnishings engages in good practices in managing their fleet.
• Earth care is part of the gift. Moreover, our agents endeavor to employ green practices in vehicle recycling and re-selling.
• Car, truck, and van donation supports other local business. Our agents, coast-to-coast, serve in your backyards.
• Canadian charities are supported. Again and again! Every donated unit is looked at individually. The donor receives a free tow. The charity receives the net proceeds from the re-sale or recycling of the car, truck, van, or motorcycle.

Commitment to their cause(s)

Heritage Office Furnishings has championed one charity many times. In fact, when we first joined efforts, this charity was not even on our receiving list!

The Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS) can be your charity of choice thanks to this company!

RAPS

The Regional Animal Protection Society is all about critter care.

“Our dream is to provide a community where no stray cats roam the streets. All animals should be loved and respected, and have lifelong homes.”

The RAPS Cat Sanctuary was built in order to rescue and protect homeless and abandoned cats and kittens. It is now one of the largest cat sanctuaries in North America. The Sanctuary provides a safe permanent home to hundreds of feral, abandoned, and surrendered cats. It is maintained by about 200 volunteers who create a loving, clean, comfortable, and safe home for the cats.

All of the cats are treated at the RAPS Animal Hospital. This is one of the largest not-for-profit animal hospitals in Canada. RAPS believes that every life is a valuable life.

VOKRA

This June (with donation number 17, if you can imagine!), HOF selected a different charity. The happy recipient-to-be?

VOKRA – the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association. Their mission? To end kitten homelessness one trap at a time.

“At VOKRA our mission is to end cat overpopulation and homelessness. One of the ways we’re helping accomplish this is through to Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), the process of trapping feral cats, spaying or neutering them, and then returning them to the location they came from. Trapping these cats and kittens is the first step towards finding them their furever homes.“

Your company can help

Home Office Furnishings is a rare company indeed! Working alongside them since 2015 is a privilege.

Does your company have an unused or unwanted car, truck, or van to donate? The giving process is simple! Within 10 – 15 minutes, we will gather your information. Part of that process will be your charity choice. You can choose from our list of almost 1,000 Canadian charities!

Your chosen charity will receive the net proceeds from the re-sale or recycling of your company vehicle. They will then send your business a tax receipt for that amount.

Inspired by HOF and ready to jump right in? ‘Already have an cause in mind? Your charity is waiting, and we’re here to help!
