This is one of the programs of Lutheran Social Services of New England. If they can rehab your car and put it into service with a person who needs it to hold down a job, you'll get a much bigger tax deduction than you'll get with a charity that sells off the cars wholesale.

They can really use something like that. I'd stay away from places like Charitymotors.com. THey will sell you car and then use the $$. I'm hearing that you want the organization to be able to use it. How about the VA in your community. Many times they transport veterans to the VA hospital and having a vehicle might help them a lot. Or a domestic abuse shelter. Many time these (mostly) women need transportation to get to appointments for more help. Kudos for wanting to help. Local charities. They can really use something like that.
