Canadian homeless | Cars create change

Canadians give to the homeless. A warm meal, an extra layer of clothing to ward of a chill Canadian winter, and a kind gesture — Donate a Car has receiving charities that are out on the streets, day and night, helping some of our country’s most vulnerable with shelter, clothing, and nourishment. Would you like to join them in your area? Donate a truck, van, SUV, car, or motorcycle. The tow is always free. Furthermore, the gift has no cost to your charity. That means more donation dollars landing where they’re needed most.

Who is there for our homeless (houseless) right now?

Read on to learn about outreaches in your area. Jump in to lend support where you can. Or, if you know of a shelter, or relief organization, that might want to benefit from our vehicle donation program long-term, let them know about us. Better yet, donate them an unused or unwanted vehicle!

Project Warmth Society is a registered charitable organization that provides warm clothing, blankets, sleeping bags, outer wear and related items to the underprivileged and homeless. As well, Project Warmth is involved with school children, under its umbrella organizations Kids’ Koats, Pupils’ Parkas and Student Scarves. 

Project Warmth Comforts by Caring for Practical Need

In the past year alone, Project Warmth has distributed over 60,000 articles of clothing, footwear, outerwear, and more to families in need — often shopping to the specific needs of the most desperate. Their annual efforts include hosting Alberta Theatre Project’s, “A Christmas Carole” where they engage theatre goers with a silent auction that includes everything from edible treats to jewelry and more!

As you ready yourself and your family for winter’s grip this year, consider working alongside Project Warmth, your local shelters, and other comfort-bringing charities across Canada in an effort to keep everybody warm and dry!

Snow ban, tow ban!

Listening to the radio advise there was a tow ban earlier this week, it was clearly a crazy blizzard. No tow trucks permitted on the road? A sure sign of bad weather! Through all of it I’m reminded to be grateful for the comfort of heat in my home. Moreover, I’m doubly blessed to have heated seats in my car and a garage to park it in.

This is the time of year when the cold becomes a matter of life or death for many. As we make preparations for our family and Christmas celebrations, some are struggling to survive the elements.

A growing trend in our over-commercialized world is donating money to a charity! Better yet? Donate on behalf of the person you’d be buying a gift for. What a great idea for those ‘hard-to-buy-for’ people in our lives!

We have many charities on our list that could benefit from your support throughout this holiday season. They in turn can make a difference in the lives they are passionate to help.  Here are a few to consider as part of your Christmas list this year!

Boyle Street Community Services – Edmonton

Catholic Missions in Canada – National

Community Living Winnipeg – Winnipeg

Covenant House – Toronto

CUPS (Calgary Urban Projects Society) – Calgary

Distress Centre – Calgary

Hope Mission – Edmonton

Meals on Wheels of Frederiction – Fredericton

The Mustard Seed – Calgary/Edmonton

Project Warmth Society of Alberta

Salvation Army – Alberta

Sanctuary – Toronto

Servants Anonymous – Calgary

Do you want to reach out to any of these charities with a vehicle donation? We can help!

First, we’ll get you set up with a free tow! Once we have your vehicle donation form things hum along. So, fill in an online donation form. This is a ten minute task. Then, wait for your phone to ring (that’s the tow crew ready to set you up with your tow time). Next, watch your inbox for your tax receipt.

The process is simple, quick, free, and friendly! And every car counts for the charity you love!
