Vehicles for Change

Vehicles for Change Its mission is to remove two major barriers to oppo We make any necessary repairs, handle all tax deductions, and deliver the vehicle to a family in need.

Vehicles for Change is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve economic and personal independence through reliable transportation and automotive workforce training. HOW IT WORKS

Donations
Vehicles are donated through the generosity of individuals, as well as partnering corporations and nonprofit organizations. Once an individual or organization chooses to do

nate a vehicle, they will be contacted by a towing company, which will pick up the car within a week. Donating to Vehicles for Change is easy, convenient, and effective - your donation will have a direct impact on the families we serve. Repairs
After donation, Vehicles for Change determines if the car is repairable (keeper) based on the general condition, mileage, year, and make of the vehicle. Those deemed not repairable are sold at auction. Keepers are mechanically reviewed and repaired in the VFC garage, and then provided to a family in need. Tax Deduction
If your car is in good condition and can be awarded to one of our worthy families, you will receive the fair market value of your car for tax deduction. VFC is the one - if not the only car donation program in MD that can allow you to deduct the fair market value of your car. The average Kelly Blue Book value of cars awarded to recipients is $4,200.
