Bridge House is an organization that makes positive changes in the lives of those afflicted with addiction. Bridge House teaches them how to recover and become productive citizens again. Bridge House also offers a work environment that teaches job skills. Bridge House is a very successful program and 70% of those who complete the recovery program there stay clean and sober after 2 years.

So, how do you donate your vehicle? Well, first of all, Bridge House accepts most cars and boats. The steps to donate are fairly simple. All you have to do is:

The real advantage to this program is that all the money from the sale of your car stays local. And since they do all the selling themselves, they are able to realize the most money from it. Even better is that it helps the clients of Bridge House because they actually work on the cars before they are sold.
