*A Demonstrated Commitment. Good News Garage started in Vermont, in 1996, and we currently serve residents in NH, VT, CT, MA and RI. We will be celebrating our 15th anniversary in July 2011.
*The Desire to Serve More New Englanders. Good News Garage Maine is launching in 2011!
*Working with Your Neighbors to Help Your Neighbors. We have dedicated local staff members who pride themselves on providing efficient, courteous and compassionate customer service.
*A Respected Record of Service. Good News Garage has received extensive recognition, including feature stories in People magazine and Reader’s Digest, and on the Today and The Oprah Winfrey Show..
*Solid Support. Good News Garage is a program of Lutheran Social Services (LSS), one of New England’s largest and oldest (since 1872!) social service organizations. Every day, LSS employees help more than 5,000 clients in 65 social ministry programs.
*A Unique, Hands-On Approach. Unlike many car donation programs, Good News Garage works to repair and provide reliable donated vehicles to local families in need. Most car donation programs wholesale every donated vehicle and hire a for-profit company to handle the donation process.
*Convenience for Donors. Good News Garage will pick up or tow your vehicle free of charge from most New England towns. We will accept most vehicles—running or not.
*Small-Business Partnerships. Good New Garage partners with local automotive garages for vehicle repairs and towing services supporting the business community.
*Best Available Tax Deductions. All vehicle donations qualify for a generous tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle’s FAIR MARKET VALUE if your vehicle is awarded to a family.
*Multiple Benefits for Donors, Recipients and the Community. Good News Garage recipients are able to go to work, care for their families and become self-sufficient. Donors have the satisfaction of knowing that their vehicle is helping to transport a family toward self-sufficiency, and a community to sustain itself.
