Community Auto Needs Cars North Hills Community Outreach’s Community Auto program is drastically low on vehicles! Do you have a vehicle that you don’t want or need anymore? Does an elderly family member have a car that he or she is no longer able to drive? Please consider donating it to Community Auto!
Your donated car can change a family’s life! NHCO accepts donated vehicles in any condition, repair them and sell them at below market value to low-income working families who need a vehicle to get to work or get a better paying job. (If your car is not suitable to sell to a family for some reason, it is auctioned and the money is used to support the program.) NHCO has a long list of families waiting to buy a car — but the lot is nearly empty. Please call 724-443-8300 or visit www.communityauto.org for more information.
