Local donation scenarios

Moving out of a cozy North Loop bungalow

As you prepare to move from your beloved bungalow by the North Loop Park, you realize that your vintage sedan isn’t making the journey with you. Instead of selling it, why not donate it to help your neighbors?

Inherited an old car with no parking space

After inheriting your grandmother’s classic car, you find that parking at your apartment off of 51st Street is too tight. Donating the car would not only relieve you of the hassle but also support local charities.

Failed inspection near North Loop cafes

Your trusty commuter car failed its inspection near your favorite café on North Loop Boulevard. Instead of repairs, consider donating it to help fund community programs while enjoying a coffee in the sun.

Downsizing your vehicle collection

After a summer of visits to the local vintage shops, you decide it’s time to downsize your vehicle collection. Your once-proud ride can now drive support to local families in need with a simple donation.
