The process is incredibly easy, whether you prefer to do it online or over the phone. Here’s how you can get started:

  1. Contact CARS: Simply reach out to CARS and let them know that you’d like to donate your vehicle to Books for Kibera. They will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that it’s as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
  2. Schedule a Pick-Up: CARS will arrange for a convenient pick-up of your vehicle at no cost to you.
  3. Receive a Charitable Gift Receipt: After your vehicle is sold, the proceeds will be sent directly to Books for Kibera, and you’ll receive a receipt for your charitable donation, which may be tax-deductible.
  4. Make an Impact: Your donation will go directly toward providing children with the resources they need to learn, grow, and dream big.

Why Donate Your Car?

Donating your used car is not only a great way to declutter your driveway, but it’s also an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children who need it most. The funds raised from your vehicle donation will help us create a safe and nurturing environment where children can access books, learn new skills, and imagine a brighter future.

Your support will help Books for Kibera turn our vision into reality. What are you waiting for, call us today and donate your vehicle.
