Vehicle donations provide financial support
Donating a car, boat, RV, or other vehicle to YWCA San Diego County is an easy way to provide critical funding for our programs. Our team works in partnership with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to coordinate vehicle donations.
CARS will arrange to have a licensed tow company pick up your vehicle and sell the vehicle at no cost to you. Evaluating each donation on a case-by-case basis, CARS will repair, refurbish, and prepare the donated property for sale. CARS will sell the vehicle at auction or privately on the retail market to maximize the selling price. The approach allows greater financial benefit to YWCA and increases the maximum legal tax deduction for the donor.
CARS will issue your donation receipt and necessary tax documents on our behalf and mail it to you as soon as your donated property is sold.
For more information or to receive a no-obligation evaluation of your potential vehicle donation, visit careasy.org or call 855.500.7433. Vehicle pick up is available throughout the United States.

Voices of Strength and Courage
“I’m grateful for all of the support and guidance you gave me. My children are doing much better now and I know we will keep getting stronger. Thank you for everything.”
“I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to take care of my son on my own. Thanks to YWCA, we’re in our own home and getting better every day. I never felt alone because I had so much support from all of you. Thank you for helping us get through this.”
“When I was at my lowest point and losing hope, you saved us. You gave me a safe place to stay with my cat and helped me regain my strength. Although I’m still not fully healed, I know that we will be okay.”
“It was so hard to imagine that I could have a different life for my children. For the first time, I’m excited and hopeful about our future.”
“I was feeling so helpless and alone. You were there for me and my children and treated us like family. Because of YWCA, I’m working now and we’re living in our own home. All of this is because of your help and encouragement. I will always be grateful.”
“After years of hidden abuse, I was broken, ashamed, and confused. She had convinced me it was all my fault. YWCA helped me regain my self-worth as a person, and most importantly, as a father. You literally changed my life.”
