Awarding donated vehicles to families in need
Your Donated Car Helps Vermonters
Your donated car goes farther at Good News Garage! We partner with the Vermont Economic Services Division to provide vehicles to participants in the Reach Up program of the Department of Children and Families. Reach Up helps eligible parents gain job skills and find work so they can support their minor, dependent children. Good News Garage helps these parents obtain reliable transportation through donated cars and our rideshare program, Ready to Go.
When you donate a car in Vermont to Good News Garage we assess your vehicle’s potential to be repaired; if it is in good enough shape, then we award it to someone in the community. If it is not safe enough or is too costly to repair or maintain, then it is used to raise funds through sale at auction. The proceeds are then used to repair another car, which will be awarded to someone in need of reliable transportation. Either way, you are helping a family in need and you receive a sizeable tax deduction!
Other car donation programs sell every donated car at auction, even if it has the potential to change a neighbor’s life. We’re different because we always try to pass the keys to a neighbor in need.
Every donated car helps local families in need and donors always qualify for a generous tax deduction!
Since Good News Garage opened its doors in Burlington, Vermont in 1996, we have provided nearly 6,000 New England families with donated vehicles. Your old or unused car could be next.
