Next month will be the Red Cross of Southeastern Philadelphia’s eighth annual walk-run to save lives event and more than one thousand participants have already registered. The event will raise money for Red Cross house in Philadelphia which provides temporary lodging for special needs victims of disaster. While you may not be able to participate in the annual walk-run event, you can participate in your local Red Cross vehicle donation program. The walk-run will also raise money for emergency services and supplies for the local chapter. If the walk-run isn’t an option for you donating you car is also a great way to raise funds.
Red Cross has also found a life saving alternative to spring break. Instead of watching television and lazing away the week, teenagers can receiving lifeguard training for the spring and summer months. If you’re looking for away to assist your local Red Cross you don’t have to go further than your driveway, donating your old or unwanted car will help your local Red Cross gather emergency supplies and continue to provide service when they are needed most.
Emergency preparedness will be extremely important in the coming months when severe weather season arrives and storms are likely to intensify. Donating your car will help Red Cross be able to give assistance to those who may be affected by natural disaster by providing the charity with resources to help those in need. It’s understandable that not everyone can donate money or time to help their local charity however; donating a car that you can no longer use or simply don’t want is helping yourself as well as the charity. You as the donor are able to remove a vehicle that is of no use to you while receiving a tax deduction for a charitable car donation.
