Wildfire relief in California will be top-of-mind for many donors in the weeks and months ahead. Canadians are no strangers to extreme fire conditions. There is a readiness to respond quickly, and practically to the all-to-familiar plight of our neighbours to the South.
Wildfire Relief in California | How we can help
Cross-border giving can be a little unwieldy, but there are some Canadian charities that are at-the-ready to aid with wildfire relief in California.
CanadaHelp’s fabulously complete website of our nations charities is shining a spotlight on a few. Two that we already have relationship with here at Donate a Car Canada are Disaster Aid Canada, and Parachutes For Pets.
Disaster Aid Canada notes,
“The wildfires currently devastating Los Angeles and surrounding areas have caused an immeasurable loss of life and property. With the fires still barely contained and continuing to spread with wind, communities are facing overwhelming destruction and heartbreak.
Disaster Aid Canada is in touch with our Rotary and Disaster Aid International partners and will support the efforts they’re making in the area to provide aid to those affected during this critical time. The funds received will go to support Rotary District 5280 and their charitable foundation specific to resources and aid following these fires.
Your contribution can make a significant difference to those in need in California affected by this tragedy. Thank you for your support.”
Parachutes for Pets also states,
“Parachutes for Pets, a trusted name in pet relief and wildfire response, has been called to assist pets impacted by the devastating California wildfires. Pasadena Humane and the Lange Foundation have reached out to Parachutes for Pets for their expertise and proven success in handling relief efforts during the Alberta wildfires.
The California wildfires have caused widespread devastation, displacing hundreds of thousands of residents and their pets. Parachutes for Pets will work closely with local organizations, shelters and veterinary clinics to provide support.”
A simple-quick-free way to turn your vehicle into aid for wildfire relief in California
One way to get funds into the hands of helping organizations is to donate your vehicle. Wrecked, or running, we will either re-sell, or recycle, your van, car, truck, SUV, or motorcycle. The net proceeds will be sent to your Canadian charity of choice.
When re-selling a vehicle, the turn around time is a bit slower than when we recycle. That’s a good thing! Our agents’ efforts are to find the buyer that will offer the highest bid for your vehicle. This can take a little time. Once your vehicle sells successfully, the net proceeds will be sent to your chosen charity.
Recycling thrums along at a clip and you’ll usually see your gift disbursed to your cause within just a month, or so.
Either way, you will receive a tax receipt for the net proceeds. Your charity will receive valuable donation dollars to aid in their work. This includes wildfire relief in California for a few Canadian charities.
