Donate Your Car to Homes with Hope

Do you have a car in good working order that no longer fits into your family’s plan? Please consider donating your car to Homes with Hope and help a person or family in need. Homes with Hope accepts donated cars that will pass Connecticut State Inspection and can be registered. The agency gives the donated cars directly to our clients to own and use. At no time do we sell donated cars. Cars should be in good condition because those who receive them, the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, do not have the extra money that is required for repairs.

Sometimes, the gift of a car is just the right thing to help a client get off to work, pick up a child at school or daycare or get to the grocery store. Not all of our clients are appropriate for a car donation. Sometimes, they have more immediate needs that must be taken care of before a car is actually helpful. We carefully screen all recipients for suitability so we don’t unnecessarily burden someone who is not yet ready or able to financially handle an automobile.

The gift of a car is tax deductible within the parameters of the IRS tax code. Homes with Hope will provide the donor with an acknowledgement letter including the make and model of the car, vehicle identification number and a statement certifying the vehicle was given in an arm’s length transaction between two unrelated parties.

Please contact Paris Looney, Vice President & COO, at plooney@hwhct.org or 203-226-3426 extension 12 for more information.
