These funds help provide hope to our community\u2019s most vulnerable through programs and services offered at The Salvation Army Ottawa Booth Centre,\u201d said Diana Javier, Ottawa Booth Centre\u2019s Manager of Community Services.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Homeless Cars takes old, broken down or unwanted cars off your hands in exchange for a minimum $500 tax receipt and the feeling that you\u2019ve made a difference in the lives of others looking for some hope and caring and a feeling of security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In Ottawa, all funds from donated cars benefit The Salvation Army\u2019s homeless assistance programs which help find safe and warm places for people to live, as well as providing healthy and nutritious meals to ensure no one goes hungry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>Donating your used vehicle helps to improve the quality of life for many of our clients. Each visit by a family gives us the opportunity to a start conversation and connect with individuals and families so we can get deeper understanding of their struggles and provide them the assistance they need,\u201d says Diana. \u201cAs a direct result of the donations from Homeless Cars we have been able to boost capacity in providing support, specifically food quantity and quality for all families experiencing food insecurity in the last two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Vehicle donations through Homeless Cars to The Salvation Army Ottawa Booth Centre provides individuals and families with food, clothing and household emergency assistance for anyone in need in the community. Demand for services and supports for vulnerable families and individuals has increased in Ottawa since the start of the pandemic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith Homeless Cars, donating your car is not only simpler than selling it online, trading it in, or scrapping it\u2013but it can create an impact within your community. By donating your car with us, you can provide funding and assistance to The Salvation Army, whose efforts reduce food insecurity in the Ottawa area,\u201d says Amanda Katz, Executive Director of Homeless Cars.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce homelessness and food insecurity at Ottawa Booth Centre, donate an old car by calling 833-465-7227 or go online to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homelesscars.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.homelesscars.ca<\/a> and fill out the form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donating your old vehicle can go a long way down the road in helping Ottawa\u2019s most vulnerable who are struggling with homelessness and food insecurity.
