Donate Your Vehicle to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross has a unique role in serving as the safety net for the American people in their hour of greatest need. Although the American Red Cross is not a government agency, its authority to provide disaster relief was formalized in 1905 when Congress chartered the Red Cross to "carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply that system in mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on measures for preventing those calamities."

The Southeastern Pennsylvania (SEPA) Chapter, founded in 1916, is the second largest chapter in the nation, serving nearly 3.9 million people throughout Montgomery, Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, and Bucks counties. SEPA emergency services volunteers respond to an average of three fires every night, providing food, shelter, medication, emotional support, and other services to disaster victims free of charge.

In 2006, the SEPA Chapter opened Red Cross House, a one-of-a-kind short-term housing facility and service center for victims of disaster. Red Cross House, located in West Philadelphia, is designed to keep families together as they begin to rebuild their lives. The facility has the capacity to accommodate up to 120 individuals at a time in 26 private family suites. Last year, the SEPA Chapter housed 885 people, including 306 children, for an average 3-week stay at Red Cross House.

In addition to disaster relief, the SEPA Chapter offers a host of other services, including youth programs, community disaster education, First Aid/CPR certification, HIV/AIDS prevention, and emergency communication services to the Armed Forces.

Our work is made possible thanks to the volunteers and donors who give their time and money to help fulfill our mission.

Please donate your car, truck, motorcycle, or boat to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Red Cross. Your donation is tax deductible and pick-up is free. Proceeds from the auction of your vehicle will directly benefit local disaster relief.
