We're not up on the latest fashions, we don't live in the biggest home, we don't drive the newest cars,we're not 90210 kind of people, but we do lead a comfortable life! God has been good to us and we like to share our life's blessings with others, be they human or animal!
Just one more way for us to make that happen? We DON'T sell our old cars, we donate them to Volunteers of America. Whether it's a top of the line car, or a real junker, they'll be happy to take it off your hands!
The Volunteers of America auctions off the car, you get a tax write-off for whatever the auction amount was, and that dollar amount goes to fund their operations. Per their national website, http://www.voa.org, 89 cents on the dollar goes to support community services, and the proceeds from your donation stay LOCAL!
They even make it easy, they'll come pick up the car or tow it, no charge to you! They'll also do the title transfer paperwork, so again no extra work for you!
And with the proceeds funding helpful programs for the homeless, the sick, seniors and veterans, well it's hard NOT to be onboard with this organization!
So thinking about selling a car, but maybe don't want the hassle of 50 people calling you, making appointments, not showing up, or asking if you'll take a personal check, perhaps donating your car is a better option!
A quote from our friend in North Carolina: "I do not share my stories of paying it forward for recognition. I share them so that others might be inspired to do what they can, when they can, where they can. No more, no less." Tish Lloyd, North Carolina REALTOR®
Paying it Forward!
