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

for school and is no longer needed, is
the perfect car to donate. Your generous
donation is the fuel for the program and 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.
