There comes a day in the life of almost every recreational vehicle when it begins to spend more of its time in the storage lot or parked behind the fence than it does on the road. The family grows up, recreational passions shift to something new, and you move on.

Not using your summer vehicles? Donate RVs, boats, trailers and other recreational vehicles to charity.

If you’re at that point, then this year, as you put away your summer toys – the motorhome, trailer, fifth wheel, toy hauler, tent trailer or RV of any kind – consider the cost of winter storage. And consider donating your RV to charity.

You’ll be eligible for a vehicle donation tax deduction. And you’ll be generously helping the charity of your choice.

Many people do not realize that they can donate lots of kinds of vehicles – not just cars and trucks.

At Cars 4 Causes®, we accept donations of many varieties of recreational vehicles, from motorcycles to off-road vehicles to motorhomes and trailers. Call us if you think it’s time to talk about donating your summer vehicle – from kayaks to RVs.

And see our FAQ video, too, for lots of examples of charity donations.

I met Sister Mary when she came to Cars 4 Causes® corporate offices to make a donation of two vehicles that were at the St. Barbara Monastery. In addition to the vehicle donations she was making, Sister Mary was also discussing the need for additional housing for the Sisters at St. Barbara. The monastery, which is strictly for women, was founded in 1992, and was then located in Santa Barbara.

The community of twelve Sisters moved to their current location in Santa Paula in 2005, and once there, ran into some snags with their housing plans. The Sisters needed places to stay until their building issues could be resolved. In the meantime, they are living in various trailers situated on the grounds of St. Barbara’s Monastery.

Cars 4 Causes® had a trailer that was perfect for their needs. We delivered the 27 foot 1986 Century Travel Trailer to St. Barbara’s last week, to the delight of Sister Mary. You can view the video of the trailer donation and Sister Mary’s sincere thank you to Cars 4 Causes®.
