CARS
A Vehicle Donation Program
JFS has partnered with CARS, an experienced national vehicle donation program.
JFS will receive 80% of the profits when you donate your car.
These funds will help support the programs, services, and emergency assistance fund of JFS.
The process is simple and requires only a call to JFS to begin.
CARS will contact you to pick up the car, handles all paperwork, and will send you a tax receipt.
Call JFS (336) 852-4829 and say you want to donate your vehicle—car, truck, boat and even airplanes!
You may also visit CARS online and begin the process through the special JFS portal.
