Donating Your Vehicle
Have a vehicle you no longer need? Turn it into support for the Volunteer Transportation Center! Through our partnership with Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS), you can donate a working or non-working vehicle from anywhere in the United States. The process is simple, pickup is free, and proceeds from your donation help support VTC's mission of providing transportation to those in need throughout our community.
Want more information? Contact VTC Foundation Director Jeremiah S. Papineau at (315) 303-2590 or email foundation@volunteertransportation.org. Those wishing to donate a vehicle but who would rather begin the donation process by phone may call Mr. Papineau or contact CARS at 1-855-500-RIDE (7433).
Why Your Gift Matters
The Volunteer Transportation Center, Inc. (VTC), established in 1991, drives millions of miles each year assisting community members in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties. Over the last 30 years, this nonprofit organization has provided essential rides to health care appointments, food sources, and other health-related destinations for residents. Through the generosity of the community and many partnerships across NNY, volunteer drivers provide over 5 million miles annually.
You would be impressed with the dedication and caring of the volunteers who transport clients. This is truly “neighbors helping neighbors.” Having access to critical-needs transportation is often the difference between a person’s ability to remain healthy and live independently at home versus being placed in a healthcare facility. That is how your donation can make a difference, for all North Country residents, regardless of economic or special needs.
