I live in kalamazoo MI, and am moving apartments… I have lots of things I would really like to donate, but dont have a car… So anyone that can give me a number to a charity or a local website that will pick it up would be great!
Thanks for your help!

I’m moving out of state for school and i won’t be needing a car so i decided to donate it to The National Veterans Service Fund Vehicle Donation Program.
They are scheduled to pick up the car on thursday.
I already know that i have to surrender my plates (i’ll do that tomorrow) to the MVC
and i know that i have to give the car title to the tow company:
1. Do i have to sign over the title or leave it blank?
2. Am i supposed to get any paperwork from the charity as proof that the car was donated?
I read that they send you info once the car has been sold.
3. Is there anything else i should know/expect during this process?
thanks in advance! 
If so:
Which charity?
What is the charity’s web site?
Was it a good experience?
I participate in the Arthritis Walk each year with a small team. My family and friends are very generous with their donations, but I’d like to increase the amount that I’m able to raise for the charity. My team members are all adults and many have arthritis, so physical events (like a car wash) aren’t our best bet. Any ideas which have worked for you would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone know of a Military charity in SE Michigan that takes used car donations where the Vets get the car to sell for parts and get to keep the money they make from it? I have a good used car that I would like to donate to something like that. But only if the vet who gets the car gets to sell it for parts and keep all the money they make from it. Please give website or phone number if you have it. Charity Orgs only please.
For me I’d get an 80s car and recondition it.
I have several household goods (furniture, books, and clothes) that I’d like to donate but I don’t have a truck and it all won’t fit in my car. What charities will pick up in this area?
The car is in my garage and I want to get rid of it.
I got married in 1996 and my aunty managed to find a man who hired his cars and gave what ever you wanted to donate to him to a charity, I would very much like to find this man to help another friend of mine out and help another charity, if anyone has any ideas they would be warmly welcomed. Thanks
I am no longer in contact with my aunty so am unable to ask her for any help.
Some friends and I have had a crew / car club for years. However it was mostly just hanging out and chilling. now that we are older and some members have or are planning to get motorcycles. we are moving more towards an official auto club. We have desire to return something to our community by starting charity events and the such. We have support but we’re trying to get away from the street crew image and a real club. we have our logo and some local merchants on board to help us (making the patches and such). we are NOT a 1% oriented club and truly wish to benefit the community. However, we haven’t looked into it yet, but we see it hard to do charity events (collecting donations and such) without going through some channels to take care of taxes and such. Also to be official so someone feels better about donating to a real club insted of just a bunch bikers or people in tricked out cars. any ideas to pursue this path are appreciated thank you.
PS- I don’t have internet right now, so it may take a day or so to respond to any feedback. thank you.
Yea, thanx alot Halfass, you were REAL helpful, being a “real” biker. We are not trying to be a biker club per se, but have support of both family riding clubs and the dominant 1% in the area. get your head outta your ass and don’t reply if your not going to help. thanks again to everyone else who answered. but like I just said the community is reaching out to us right now. hopefully we will get established soon.
BTW I didnt mean bikers wernt real clubs, I only ment that from a civilians pov. an established club is prob easier to believe would take the money you give and put to a good cause rather than a bunch of guys on harleys or tricked out cars claiming to be a club
im a freshman in highschool and me and a couple friends wanted to make an orginization to raise money for cancer patients, we would raise money threw dances, car washes, donations, etc.
Do we have to make our orginization legal because it is a small town thing
