The full process
Inquire About Donation
Start your journey by reaching out to us through our dedicated website or a simple phone call. We’re happy to answer any questions you have about the process of donating your vehicle. Whether it's an old truck from your family camp in Aroostook or a sedan that's seen better days, every donation counts towards enhancing local access to vital programs.
Provide Vehicle Details
Once you decide to donate, we’ll ask for some basic information about your vehicle. This includes the make, model, year, and condition of the car. If your old Subaru has been sitting in your driveway up in the mountains of Western Maine, let us know—every detail helps us understand its value and how best to process it.
Schedule Pickup
After receiving your vehicle information, we’ll arrange a convenient time for pickup. We work around your schedule, whether you’re in Portland or on the islands of Casco Bay. Our local team will handle all logistics to ensure a smooth experience for you while keeping our Maine community connected.
Pickup Your Vehicle
On pickup day, our friendly team will arrive at your location, whether it's a driveway in the heart of Bangor or a garage in Augusta. We’ll complete the necessary paperwork on-site and ensure that everything is taken care of, allowing you to sit back and relax, knowing you’re making a positive impact.
Transporting Your Donation
Your vehicle will then be transported to a local auction or certified recycling facility. We prioritize working with Maine businesses to keep the proceeds within our community, reinforcing our commitment to local economic support. Rest assured, your donated vehicle will be handled responsibly.
Auction or Recycling
Depending on its condition, your vehicle will either be auctioned off or recycled. We strive to maximize the value of your donation. The proceeds from your car will directly fund the research services that connect your neighbors to essential resources like SNAP, MaineCare, and TANF.
Proceeds to Research Services
All funds raised from your vehicle donation will support our research initiatives aimed at linking Maine residents to the programs they need. This ensures that your generosity helps combat food insecurity, provide healthcare access, and aid families struggling to stay afloat in our beautiful state.
Receive Tax Receipt
Within 30 days, we will send you a tax receipt for your generous donation. This receipt can be used for tax deductions, providing an additional benefit for your charitable contribution. We appreciate your kindness and want you to reap the rewards of giving back to your community.
Follow-Up & Impact Updates
After your vehicle is donated, we’ll keep you updated on how your contribution is making a difference. You’ll receive insights into the programs supported by our funding. Knowing that your donation helps your neighbors in Maine will fill you with pride and connection to the community.
