Stories from our cherished donors.

I had an old wagon sitting in the driveway for two years. Helping Hands picked it up in three days and I was able to give to the cancer support group that has helped my family so much over the years.

My family had an RV that we no longer used. I told Michael that total proceeds were my main goal and they spent countless hours finding a buyer for the RV. In the end, they were able to sell the RV and return $20k to our local rehabilitation center!

We donated the car that carried us on every family ski adventure. Knowing it would fund a non-profit aimed at protecting our winters for generations to come felt like a perfect way to part with such an important part of our family's lives.

My grandfather is 92 years old and was told that he could no longer drive. He does not know how to use a computer, so Mary Beth handled every part of the donation process with him by phone.

I had a terrible car donation experience years ago with the company with a catchy jingle. I decided to give HHCS a shot, and the difference was night and day! Mary Beth was a pleasure to work with. 5 stars!

A friend of mine recommended HHCS as I was planning to move out of state and decided to donate my car last second. HHCS picked my car up the next day and kept me up to date every step of the way. Thank you!
