Driving Community Growth

Driving Successful Lives is committed to helping charitable organizations, struggling individuals, and families. To help people and non-profits get back on their feet, they accept real estate and automobile donations.

By giving a home or commercial property, you can provide a homeless family with a place to live or give a non-profit a place to set up shop and help others. If you’ve got a car that you can’t sell, they’ll put it towards a good cause. For example, cargo vans, trucks, and SUVs have been used to shuttle people and supplies to counseling, doctor’s appointments, church services and more. A reliable car could go a long way towards helping a family in need.

Over the last couple years, Driving Successful Lives has accepted property, vehicles, and food donations that have benefited the following groups of people:

• Veterans
• Children
• Homeless People & Families
• Individuals Battling Addiction
