DONATING A CAR
Donating a car is an excellent way to get rid of an old, unwanted vehicle and help the kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital!
We’ve partnered with Charitable Adult Rides & Services (CARS) because they have years of experience and have helped thousands of satisfied people donate cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and other vehicles nationwide. We trust them to make your car donation convenient and hassle-free.
When you pledge your vehicle, a customer service representative from CARS will take your information and handle everything from processing documents and vehicle pick-up to charity auction sale and proceed distributions to St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Donating your car frees you from the hassles of selling, and proceeds from the sale of your vehicle will allow us to continue our mission to do what’s right for kids!
