Recycle a used vehicle

Do you have an older car, truck, van, trailer, RV or boat taking up valuable space in your driveway? If you live in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, Summerland, or Carpinteria, your car donations can support Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County's local mission of eliminating poverty housing and homelessness and save you the time and energy of finding a buyer.

By donating a car to Habitat's vehicle donation program, you can help Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County build houses in partnership with families in need of a hand up, not a hand out. Your donated vehicle will help us fund construction of the 12 new homes we break ground on  this fall.

 
It is quick and easy to donate automobiles, trucks, boats, RV’s, motorcycles, construction equipment and other vehicles ~ running or not! Plus, you may be eligible for a tax deduction. (Consult your tax advisor or the IRS for details.)



To donate a car, truck, boat or RV to Cars for Homes™ - Habitat’s official car donation program, call (877) 277-4344 or visit www.carsforhomes.org and let us take care of the rest. It’s a convenient way to support Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County and create more space in your driveway!


If you've visited the Habitat ReStore recently you've seen this poster hanging. Another way you can help is by spreading the word and letting your friends and family know that old cars can be donated and help fund the construction of low-income and affordable homes in our community.
