Kerr Drug and Wheels4Hope

Hundreds of families in our community are facing hard times. Some are getting support from great agencies like StepUp, Raleigh Rescue Mission, and Habitat for Humanity, but without reliable transportation, they will struggle to find work, stay employed, go to school and care for their children.

That’s where Wheels4Hope steps in. By referral through our partners like Kerr Drug, Wheels4Hope can provide affordable, reliable transportation to these families.

Kerr Drug has generously provided a $7,500 grant to Wheels4Hope in 2011. These funds are being used to repair vehicles donated to Wheels4Hope and place them back into the community by referral through partner agencies.

Kerr Drug also donated 3 minivans to Wheels4Hope in the spring of 2011. These company vans were all high mileage, but each were well maintained and in good condition. All three had minor repairs done to them by Wheels4Hope and were placed with families in the community by referral through partner agencies.

Reasons to Donate Your Car to Wheels4Hope

Recycle your car back into our community and give it a new life by providing affordable transportation to low-wage earners in our community. Wheels4Hope places cars through partnerships with: Habitat for Humanity, StepUP Ministry, Red Cross, InterAct, Raleigh Rescue Mission and 10 other great organizations.

Get the best tax advantage. Most charities soliciting car donations do not use those vehicles in carrying out their mission. They take donated cars and sell them (usually through a third party at auction) and use the proceeds to fund their organization. The actual sale price of the donated car is reported back to the donor as the value of the tax deduction for IRS purposes. With Wheels4Hope, if your donated car is placed as a program car, you can claim the full retail value of the vehicle as a tax deduction. This can mean a deduction worth hundreds or even thousands more than if you were to donate your vehicle to another program. If not, where possible, we repair your car and sell it on our retail lot (generating the best value for your tax deduction) and use 100% of the proceeds to support our program.

Wheels4Hope takes donated cars, repairs them using volunteers and places them back into our community to change lives. Donated cars (in any condition) can change lives. For additional information, go to www.wheels4hope.org or call 919-832-1941.
