Good News Garage NH - Donate a car...Change a life!

I love this photo of Nick (second from left), the Good News Garage NH vehicle processor, shown here with the recipients of a donated and refurbished 2001 Ford Windstar with 185,000 miles. To receive a car from Good News Garage, a client cannot have a working car in the household. So the families that Good News Garage NH serves struggle to commute to work, childcare, medical appointments and even to the store. By accepting, repairing and awarding reliable donated cars to families in need, Good News Garage changes lives one car at a time. And the joy and relief felt by our clients is often displayed on the faces of our clients when they pick up their "new" vehicles.

If you have an older car, van or truck that you no longer need, please consider donating it to Good News Garage NH. All car donors have the satisfaction of knowing that their car is transporting a new family toward financial independence. To date, more than 12,000 cars have been donated to Good News Garage and Good News Garage has provided vehicles to more than 3,500 families throughout New England.

In addition, Good News Garage car donors may realize a unique tax advantage. Other car donation programs liquidate the cars they receive limiting the tax deduction to the amount the charity receives at auction. Cars donated to Good News Garage NH that can be reconditioned and awarded to a family qualify for a deduction equal to the vehicle's full fair market value! This can mean a deduction worth thousands of dollars.

To donate a car, van, truck, boat, RV, moped, motorcycle, camper, ATV or jet ski, to Good News Garage New Hampshire, call toll-free: 877-GIVE-AUTO (448-3288) or visit on-line: http://www.goodnewsgarage.org/.
