Vehicle Donation Program
Want to help a refugee? Have an old car?
Catholic Charities Atlanta has partnered with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Atlanta in its Donate A Vehicle program. We can now accept donations of cars, trucks and boats and use the income generated by donated vehicles to provide assistance to those in need. In addition, cars in acceptable condition can be given to refugee clients who need a vehicle for employment purposes.
Before selling or disposing of your unwanted automobiles, trucks, motorcycles or boats, please visit the Donate A Vehicle page for more information or call 770-458-2877.
