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!

A Venza & a low-profile charity

The Society of Saint-Vincent de Paul is our Venza donor’s charity of choice. This boots on the ground charity is serving our country’s poor from coast to coast.

They are a lay Catholic organization whose mission is:

“To live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice and joy. The Mission of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul implies that (they) see Christ in anyone who suffers. (They) come together as a family, have personal contact with the poor and help in all possible ways.” And they’re continuing to serve in this way in pandemic conditions.

This was the cause our Toyota Venza donors got behind.

Much more than an old car

The Society that our donor’s support effects felt-need change. When our partnered agent re-sold their Venza, the donors were able to gift over $3,000.00 to the charity.

By the numbers: 145,000 homes were visited in the past year. 337,000 individuals were served, and half of those were kiddos. The charity volunteers visited over 3,000 inmates. And those volunteer hours? One million, three hundred and fifty thousand!

And just like that we get a little glimpse into what one generously donating family, and one little Toyota can do!

Help the charity you love – donate your Toyota!

Toyota donations are just one vehicle make earning donations for cross-Canada charities. Our Venza donors had a beautiful donation experience,

” Thank you, Donate a Car Canada, for offering such a helpful service that connects folks like me who have a vehicle to dispose of and Canadian charities that need help. “

Our work here is to come alongside you in doing your own kind of Good! We’ll make the process as easy as we can. Our agents will do the heavy lifting. Your charity will receive a monetary gift that allows them to do the work they are just-so suited for. And you will get a tax receipt.

As one of our recent Google-review donors noted, “It’s a win-win-win!”

You are also invited to contact and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter! From there, you’ll be able to keep up to date on our program as well as see posts that showcase our amazing donors and charities across the country!
