Cars for Homes

Donate a car to Habitat's "Cars for Homes" Program

When you donate a car, truck, boat or RV to Habitat for Humanity's Cars for Homes™ program, you are helping Jackson-Madison County Habitat for Humanity build homes in partnership with families within your community!

Donating a car, truck, boat, RV or other vehicle is quick and easy, and your car donation may be eligible for tax deduction purposes if you itemize (consult the IRS or your tax advisor for details).

Cars for Homes™ accepts a majority of cars, trucks, boats, RVs and other vehicles with proper title and ownership information, and makes the arrangements to have your vehicle, keys and title picked up for processing.

Net proceeds generated by donated vehicle sales are used by Habitat for Humanity of Jackson to build homes in partnership with families in our community.

It's quick and easy to donate. With your help, more low income families can have a decent place to call home, and the hope of a better life.

To donate your vehicle, call 1-877-277-HFHI (4344) or visit www.CarsForHomes.org.
