Donating your car is a unique and impactful way to support HSM’s care. We work with CARS, Charitable Adult Rides and Services, to make the process as easy as possible. Simply fill out their online form with basic details about the vehicle you are interested in donating, then CARS will contact you to arrange a pickup, sell the vehicle on your behalf, and donate the proceeds (minus a small fee to support their non-profit service) to HSM. Like all gifts to HSM, this donation is tax deductible!
Thank You
