Local donation scenarios

Downsizing near McKinley Park

Inherited vehicle with no space to keep it

After inheriting a family car that you can’t keep parked on the street near East Sacramento’s historic homes, consider donating it. Your contribution helps those in need and keeps your neighborhood beautiful.

Moving out of state with an old car

If you're moving out of California and can’t take your old car with you, it’s an ideal time to donate. Help those who are struggling in your East Sacramento community while simplifying your move.
