Booth Centre partners with charitable foundation
to raise funds for the homeless
Salvation Army Booth Centre to accept donated used cars
The Salvation Army’s Ottawa Booth Centre is venturing into the field of used car donations with a Canadian charitable foundation, in an inspired initiative to bring in funding and enhance the lives of our homeless clientele.
Donating your used vehicle will help improve the lodging and quality of life of many of the Booth Centre’s thousands of yearly clients. A car donation also enables you to do your part to assist those homeless clients.
The Booth Centre is partnering with the Ontario-based Homeless Cars Foundation. It is devoted to funding and curbing homelessness and food insecurity in Ottawa. It is pursuing the dual objectives by supporting the Booth Centre through the proceeds of donated vehicles.
Donating is easy. You can fill out a form online or make a 3-4 minute phone call to the Homeless Cars Foundation.(1-833-465-7227)
Your vehicle is picked up for free within 48 hours of donation. A tax receipt is then issued to you by Homeless Cars, for the value of the car.
It is so much easier than selling your car online, or trading it in or scrapping it. It is a feel good act of kindness. Donating a car is also contact free. There is no need to meet strangers to test drive your car.
With the onset of Covid 19 there has been a considerable rise in food insecurity and homelessness. The agencies that support them, like the Salvation Army, are in dire need of more funding and assistance.
The goal of Homeless Cars is for increasing numbers of Ottawa-based used car owners to donate their vehicles to this worthy cause. That will translate into tax-deduction receipts for the car owners and increased funding for the Booth Centre and its clientele.
