CARS FOR HOMES

Do you have a car, truck, motorcycle, motorhome or boat on a trailer taking up valuable space in your driveway? Car donations support Habitat for Humanity New York City’s local and global mission of eliminating poverty housing and homelessness and save you the time and energy of finding a buyer. 

By donating a car to our vehicle donation program, Cars for Homes™, you can help Habitat for Humanity of New York City build houses in partnership with families in need of a hand up, not a hand out.
