Local donation scenarios

Downsizing on Whalley Avenue

As you prepare to move into a smaller apartment along Whalley Avenue, your old vehicle is just taking up space. Instead of letting it sit unused, why not donate it and help a local resident in need of reliable transportation?

Inherited car with no space

After inheriting a car from a family member, you realize you have no room for it in your Hillhouse apartment. Donating the vehicle not only solves your space issue but also supports someone who will truly benefit from it.
