Last Thursday the stock market surged after the Fed announced the day before that it would keep rates low. Even with the announcement the following day that the unemployment rate jumped to its all time high of 10.2 percent, the market still rose some more. For stock holders the economy ‘appears’ not to be so bad. Though the government has pumped cash into the financial system, non-profit, non government agencies, such as the Red Cross, continue to seek ways to finance their vital programs. The Red Cross not only looks to monetary contributions and blood donations but for people who can donate a car to charity. Auto donation has become even more important to the Red Cross as donations continue to dwindle. Money is tight for families and people across the country but if you don’t have extra money you can still help the Red Cross when you donate a car you no longer need.
Like many charitable organizations, the Red Cross has begun to work with car donations to help keep their vital programs available to the people who desperately need them. The Red Cross is always a presence when disasters such as fire, floor or hurricanes hit. The Red Cross plays an unparalleled role in providing immediate and long term relief and assistance to victims of disaster across the country. When you donate a car to the Red Cross those funds are set aside to provide vouchers for food, clothing and temporary shelter. One of the most preventable disasters, fire, displaces hundreds of people each year, especially in the cold winter months. With your car donation you are enabling the Red Cross to find temporary shelter for people who lose their home due to fire. Your auto donation will also continue the Red Cross’ training program that trains Red Cross volunteers so that they can go out into the community and teach preparedness, another unique mission of the Red Cross. During tough economic times many businesses are in need of a lifeline and your car donation can be that lifeline for the Red Cross.
