Cars for Kids Sake

Whether your car starts or not, donating it can certainly start something in your community. Big Brothers Big Sisters Cars for Kids’ Sake helps us raise funds through the donation of your unwanted vehicle. Donated vehicles qualify as charitable gifts and may be eligible for a tax deduction.

We welcome all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motor homes, boats, airplanes, farm equipment, and construction equipment.

The process for donating is simple. Just call the Big Brothers Big Sisters Vehicle Donation Program at 800-710-9145 or follow the easy steps below to arrange a pickup for your unwanted vehicle. The vehicle will be picked up, processed, and sold to help kids in your community.
