Ever heard of Car Angel?
Well, about 2.4 million kids know of their work. The nonprofit group looks for car donations that they can either fix up and sell, or sell as-is. It’s a tax write-off for the people who make the donation, and all proceeds get funneled into a video outreach to at-risk kids and teens.
The videos in question address issues at-risk kids and teens face, and offer advice on how to improve their situation. Without the car donations, the funds needed to make and distribute these videos simply wouldn’t be there.
Some outreaches may have questionable value in terms of helping the kids they reach, but Car Angel isn’t one of them; all proceeds go directly to video production and distribution costs and with 2.4 million kids reached so far, they must be doing something right. Worth a look, if you have an old heap sitting around gather rust.
