Though it may seem like the Red Cross is only at work during disasters you see on television or read about in the papers, they respond to the needs of people every minute of the day. There is always someone somewhere in need of their help, whether it’s down the street, across the country or somewhere around the world. They are an unparalleled humanitarian organization that depends on donations from people who can donate to keep their vital services available when most needed.
When you participate in the car donation program, you help the Red Cross provide relief to victims of disaster as well as help teach people how to prevent and prepare for emergency situations. Because they are not a government agency, your car donation helps them maintain a network of chapters across the country that provide lifesaving programs and meet the basic 
needs of those struck by disaster. When you donate a car to them, your car donation helps in four vital ways.

The Red Cross recognizes how preventing emergencies helps saves lives and property and every day they strive to give people the knowledge they need to prevent preventable disasters. Your vehicle donation enables them to teach people how to prevent home fires as well as how to prepare an emergency disaster kit to keep on hand for any possible disaster that may arise. In addition to preparing emergency kits, they teach millions of Americans lifesaving skills such as CPR, first aid and how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator).
If you have a car you no longer need, you can donate a car and know that you are helping them continue their vital mission. Of course they are known for their work with blood donation but collecting, screening, processing and testing, as well as transporting blood donations, requires a constant flow of funds. Your auto donation is a vital resource for them. Last but not least, the fourth way your car donation helps is what they are most famous for – responding to disaster. When you donate a car to them, your car donation keeps the Red Cross on the scene during any disaster where there are people who need aid and comfort. This ongoing need requires training for volunteers, equipment, food and shelter and your vehicle donation helps these needs to be continually met.
