    Rhea County Animal Shelter launches vehicle donation program

    EVENSVILLE — Animal Shelter Alliance of Rhea is happy to announce the launch of its new Vehicle Donation Program in partnership with Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS). This groundbreaking initiative aims to make a significant impact on the lives of shelter animals by providing an effortless way for supporters to contribute to the welfare of the animals.

    Through this exciting partnership with CARS, Animal Shelter Alliance of Rhea is now able to accept vehicle donations of all types, including cars, boats, planes, motorcycles, RVs, farm equipment, and more. What sets this program apart is its focus on convenience, including for those with non-running vehicles, making it easy for supporters to turn their vehicles into a valuable contribution that directly supports the shelter’s efforts to rescue and care for animals.

    None of the vehicles come to the shelter. CARS arranges to pick them up right from your driveway, and then takes care of the paperwork, sales, everything! When everything is done, they send you the tax deduction information and provide us a donation check in your name.

    How the Vehicle Donation Program Works:

    1. Contactless Donation Process: Donors initiate their vehicle donation by visiting the dedicated Animal Shelter Alliance of Rhea donation page on the CARS website (https://careasy.org/nonprofit/animal-shelter-alliance-of-rhea) or calling 855-500-7433.

    2. Towing Services for Non-Running Vehicles: CARS offers convenient towing services for all vehicles, including those that are not currently running, ensuring that even those who have non-functioning vehicles can support the cause.

    3. Quick and Hassle-Free: CARS streamlines the entire donation process, handling all necessary paperwork, towing, and sale of the donated vehicle.

    4. Maximum Tax Benefits: Donors are eligible to receive a tax deduction for their generous contribution based on the final sale price of the donated vehicle.

    5. Supporting Shelter Animals: The proceeds from the sale of donated vehicles go directly to Animal Shelter Alliance of Rhea, providing critical resources for medical care, shelter, food, and adoption programs.

    Animal Shelter Alliance of Rhea encourages everyone in the community to consider supporting this new Vehicle Donation Program as an impactful way to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals. Donations of all vehicle types are welcome and will contribute to providing a brighter future for animals in need. Whether you have a running vehicle or a non-operational vehicle, the process is designed for maximum convenience and impact.

    Donna Vaughn, Board President of Animal Shelter Alliance of Rhea shared her excitement about this partnership, stating, “We are incredibly grateful for the support of Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS) and the opportunity to launch our Vehicle Donation Program. This initiative allows us to expand our reach and to continue providing much-needed care for more animals. We invite the community to join us in this effort and make a lasting impact on the lives of the animals we serve.”
