Community Auto, a program of The
Lighthouse Foundation, is a non-profit,
low-income car ownership program that
accepts donated cars, and repairs and
inspects them if necessary. The car is then
sold to qualified, working, low-income
people at discounted prices, as compared
to a regular used car dealership. This is the
only organization of its kind in Western
Pennsylvania that puts your car back
into the hands of a family in the Greater
Pittsburgh area.
The used car sitting in the garage that
you didn’t sell because it was a hassle, or
the car that didn’t get the trade-in value
you wanted, or that one the kids used
for school and is no longer needed, is
the perfect car to donate. Your generous
donation is the fuel for the program and
icmags.com
is tax deductible. Contact Community
Auto today at communityautolico.org or at
724.538.5081 to find out just how easy it is
to donate your car and give a family a hand
toward self-sufficiency.
