We're getting Miles Ahead!

Here at the American Red Cross we’re always proud to partner with organizations to further our mission within the community.  That’s why we’re happy to now be working with Miles Ahead Donations.

What is Miles Ahead Donations?
Miles Ahead Donations is a nation-wide vehicle donation program that works with charities such as Boy Scouts of America to help feed the hungry, house the homeless, and provide services for the mentally challenged, disabled, handicapped, elderly and blind through the profit made from vehicle donations. 
Why are we working with them?
Because our mission in the community is to “provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies,” we think that this is a great opportunity for us to join forces with a likeminded organization in order to increase our ability to respond to the community when needed.

How much money is donated?
By maximizing the sale price of your donated car, truck, van, RV, trailer or boat, Miles Ahead Donations donates approximately 75% of the sale to the charity of your choice... which we hope is us! 
Why donate?
Individuals that donate receive a minimum tax deduction of $500.00, and all towing and paperwork is free and completed for you so that there is never a risk of liability if you donate.  So, not only will you have the opportunity to get rid of that old gas guzzler that your husband has been promising to fix up for the past 5 years, but you're also helping us continue our mission in the community!
