Vehicle Donation Program
Turn your car into a great idea!
When you donate your used vehicle to The Father’s Heart
Street Ministry we'll turn the proceeds into helping to
feed and clothe poor families in our community as well
as assisting in rental and utility help to ensure a
safe, warm place for children. The Father’s Heart’s
vehicle donation program handles all of the details at
no charge to you - just follow the steps below.
HOW DO I DONATE MY VEHICLE TO TFH?
Contact The Father’s Heart Street Ministry at
503-722-9780 or
donation@speedssupertow.com. You'll be helped by
Speed's Supertow, our partner in the TFH vehicle
donation program. Speed's Supertow will arrange the
pickup of your vehicle.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Does my car have to be running to qualify for donation?
No, but the car must have an engine and be towable.
However, cars that are in extremely poor condition or
far from our tow range may cost more to tow than the
value of the vehicle. If this is the case, TFH may not
receive any dollars from your vehicle.
What paperwork do I need?
The only paperwork needed is a signed title (pink slip).
However, if the title (pink slip) is not available, a
lost title search can be done.
Do I get a receipt for my donation?
Yes, our driver will issue a receipt at the time of
pick-up. This is not your final tax receipt. The initial
acknowledgement will indicate your name, the year, make
and model and the condition of the vehicle you are
donating.
A final acknowledgement will be mailed to you within 30
days of the sale. The amount of gross proceeds received
from your vehicle will be listed on this receipt. This
will be your receipt for your charitable contribution.
What can I claim as a deduction?
Due to recent IRS updates to the rules regarding vehicle
donations and the amount of the deduction that can be
claimed, we recommend that you refer to IRS Publication
4303 "A Donor's Guide to Vehicle Donations," which can
be found at
www.irs.gov, or contact your tax advisor to
determine the amount of your tax deduction.
What does TFH do with the donated vehicles?
The vehicles are sold at auction. The funds from vehicle
donations are used to provide food, clothing, rental
assistance, utility assistance, emergency winter shelter
needs, hot meals, and sack lunches for the poor in our
community. It is our desire that no child will go
hungry or lose their home due to the lack of income.
This vehicle donation program will fund and support TFH
and our outreach efforts in the community.
Do I have to be with the vehicle at the time of pick-up?
No. Special arrangements can be made when you talk with
the tow company.
How much money will TFH receive?
It varies. However, after towing and administrative
costs the ministry will receive the remainder of the
proceeds from the sale of the car.
