What is car donation?

Car donation is when former car owners give cars they no longer use to charity. A used car can still go a long way toward helping our neighbors in need. Whether the vehicle has been well-loved by a family or it is in perfect condition, Father Joe’s Villages will accept your car donation. We even offer free, easy pick-up for any type of vehicle donation, including trucks, boats, recreational vehicles, motorcycles and cars.
