Good News Garage Offers Unique Way to Honor Our Country’s Tradition of Helping a Neighbor in Need this President’s Day Weekend

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 16, 2011 -- Shopping for a new car this President’s Day weekend and want a great deal? Good News Garage, a program of Lutheran Social Services, has one for you: donate your car, van or truck – running or not – and we’ll tow it free charge and you will qualify for a generous tax deduction. You’re donation will help transport a low-income family toward self-sufficiency.

Good News Garage, a trusted New England non-profit with a 15 year history, accepts, repairs and provides reliable donated vehicles to people in need. All donations to Good News Garage qualify for a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value, the highest deduction allowed by the IRS for vehicle donations. This amount can potentially be more than the trade-in offered by dealers. Now that’s a great deal!

Since 1996, Good News Garage has matched more than 3,800 donated vehicles to New England families in need. Over 90 percent of Good News Garage clients are single mothers who are employed or are enrolled in a job training program and do not have an operating vehicle in the household.

“Prior to this day, I traveled three hours each way to work by bus leaving me little time with my three children. I can now go to school or have a second job. I can bring my kids to the park or the mall. I’m thrilled, grateful and very thankful,” wrote Nicole, a grateful Good News Garage vehicle recipient.

The mission of Good News Garage is to create economic opportunity by providing affordable and reliable transportation options for people in need. For more information about Good News Garage or to donate a car, visit www.GoodNewsGarage.org or call toll-free 877.GIVE.AUTO (448.3288).
