Feeling good is okay but doing good is something tangible that lasts forever and can be achieved in the simplest of ways and the smallest of actions.

Here’s an idea…what about making a vehicle donation? What? A vehicle donation is easy to do. If you have a car you no longer have a need for it could help add to the funds needed by the organization to operate both here and overseas. Your auto donation would go to auction to get the best price and 91% of the money it realizes goes directly to the work of the ARC. Imagine how good that could make you feel?
What’s really great about this deal is that should you decide to make a car donation it will cost you nothing to do. No phone charge, no freight charge and no collection charge – everything is free for you to be able to make your auto donation effortlessly.
The American Red Cross is part of this noble tradition and the DC Chapter is an honorable associate of this larger organization. Doesn’t that make you feel good to be part of such a fine and decent ideal? We all need a little spiritual uplift and by contributing in this way you know that your actions will impact directly on those in need and that really does give you the tingling warm and fuzzies. Ooh, feels sooo good!
