Cars Helping Kids turns donated vehicles — running or not, with or without a clean title — into backpacks, weekend food bags, tutoring hours, and winter coats for North Georgia kids who need them. Free tow. Maximum tax deduction. Zero hassle.
From your driveway to a kid's backpack, without you ever leaving the porch. The whole thing was built to be the easiest decision you make this month.
Use the form below or call us. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs — anything with wheels (or a hull). 60 seconds, three quick questions.
Our licensed tow partner calls within 24 hours to schedule a time that works. You don't have to be home. Leave the keys with the title.
Your tax-deductible receipt hits your inbox the day of pickup. Your IRS Form 1098-C with the final deduction amount follows after the vehicle sells.
Sixty seconds. Three quick questions. Then a real person calls to set the time. We don't sell your data, we don't sign you up for anything — we just come get the car.

We don't fund a generic "general fund." Every program has a name, a partner, and a kid behind it.
Backpacks fully loaded with school supplies — handed to kids quietly, by name.
The whole team was kind, fast, and totally honest about what I'd be able to deduct. No pressure, no upsell — just real folks doing real good.— Derrick P. · Cumming, GA
Every August, partnered with North Georgia school counselors. Kids whose families can't afford it get fully-loaded packs.
Kids on free school meals often go hungry on weekends. We fund weekend bags through partner pantries — quietly slipped into Friday backpacks.
Reading and math help for K–8 students at faith-based and community after-school sites. One tutor hour costs less than a tank of gas.
Coats, shoes, and Christmas gifts for families choosing between heat and groceries.
Small lean program. No fancy offices, no national TV ads. A higher % of every dollar reaches kids than at most large national charities.
We collect every review and post them as we get them. These are the latest.
Donated my dad's old pickup that hadn't moved in 3 years. They picked it up the next morning and the tax receipt was in my email before I'd finished my coffee. Couldn't have been easier.
My Honda hadn't passed emissions in two years. Cars Helping Kids took it for free, and knowing it's funding school supplies in my own county made the whole thing feel like a win.
The whole team was kind, fast, and totally honest about how much I'd be able to deduct. No pressure, no upsell, just real folks doing real good. Highly recommend.
Look up your IRS Form 1098-C any time with your name and reference number. We email it the moment your vehicle sells. If you'd rather have it on screen, here's where it lives.
Get my receipt Worth real money?Got a vehicle worth too much to "just donate"? Let us sell it on consignment — proceeds split, kids still benefit, and you write off only the gifted portion. The middle path that actually pays.
How consignment worksA 501(c)(3) nonprofit at the foot of the Blue Ridge. We're small on purpose. Every car turns into something a kid can hold.
We started because a lot of folks have a car they don't quite know what to do with — too good to scrap, too tired to sell, too valuable to forget about — and a lot of kids around here have a backpack that's empty by the third week of school.
Putting those two facts in the same room turned out to be the whole idea.
So that's what we do. You hand us the keys, we hand a kid a backpack. The IRS handles the math. Your driveway gets cleaner, somebody's reading homework gets done, and on a good week the church up the road runs out of weekend food bags because we sent enough.
Net proceeds go to programs. Every donation is reportable, every program has a name, and every name has a kid behind it. That's the model. Not glamorous. Just useful.
Sixty seconds online — or one phone call. We come to you, free, anywhere in the country. You get the deduction. A kid gets the backpack.
