If you want to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate, The Houston Charity Center encourages you to assist the Salvation Army, which is a social service and disaster relief organization. The Salvation Army runs Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARC) and a series of thrift stores in Houston (Houston Thrift Stores).

Besides accepting food, clothes, furniture and several utility items; old vehicles are also accepted at the Salvation Army stores (Salvation Army Stores). If you are looking for a way to get rid of your old vehicle, you can always consider donating it to a Salvation Army thrift store as most donated vehicles are auctioned to raise funds for different programs run for the underprivileged. You can also request the Salvation Army office to pick up your vehicle. The Salvation Army thrift store will issue a receipt acknowledging the donation of your vehicle and then sell it through an auction. The amount obtained by auctioning your vehicle will be eligible for a tax exemption, meaning that you can claim a tax deduction equivalent to the price at which the car is sold.

Although most Salvation Army thrift stores (Salvation Army Thrift Stores) accept vehicles that are in working condition with clear registration papers and title, however some Salvation Army stores also accept those which are not in working condition.
