Samaritan Car Care Clinic

08/20/2026

National car donation programs do good work.
But there's something different about donating to an organization
that keeps your car right here in Northern Kentucky.

When you donate to Samaritan Car Care Clinic:

→ Your car goes to a real family in Boone, Campbell, or Kenton County
→ Our mechanics repair it. A working parent gets the keys.
→ That family keeps their job. Their kids get to school.
→ You can see the impact — it's right down the road.

Harvard research on charitable giving confirms what many donors already feel:
local giving — where you can see the outcome — produces the deepest sense of impact.

This is why we do what we do. And why we need your help.

No car to give? A cash donation keeps a local family moving too.

Most donated cars go straight to auction.
Yours doesn't have to.
Here's what happens when you donate your car to Samaritan Car Care Clinic:

Step 1: You call us. We handle everything with you.
Step 2: Our mechanics assess what the car needs.
Step 3: If the car can be repaired, we then do what is needed to make it road-safe.
Step 4: We match it to a vetted family in NKY through our referral network.
Step 5: A working parent in Boone, Campbell, or Kenton County gets the keys.

No auction. No out-of-state processing. No stranger in another state.
Prefer to give cash? That works too — and it stays right here in NKY.
Your neighbor. Your community.

Your car doesn't need to run to make a difference.
Samaritan Car Care Clinic accepts non-running vehicles in Northern Kentucky.
We can arrange a tow pickup for a donated car. Our mechanics assess what it needs.
If it can be made road-safe for a local family, we make it happen.

No cost to you. Tax-deductible receipt provided.
No junkyard negotiation. No Marketplace listing. No strangers in your driveway.

Just one call and it's gone — to somewhere it can do some good.

That car in your driveway isn't just taking up space.
Someone in Northern Kentucky needs it to get to work.

Here are 5 signs it's time to donate — not trade in:
✓ You haven't driven it in months
✓ The repair bill isn't worth it
✓ You're buying something new and the trade-in value disappoints
✓ It doesn't run and you don't know what to do with it
✓ You want your giving to mean something you can see

When you donate to Samaritan Car Care Clinic, your car stays here in NKY. Our mechanics fix it up. A working family gets the keys.

Tax-deductible receipt. Real, local impact.

Not ready to donate a car? A cash gift makes the same kind of local impact.
