Society of St. Vincent de Paul benefits from vehicle donations
The vehicle donation program of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Indianapolis is now in its third year.
Vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats, donated to the society are auctioned off and the proceeds benefit the society’s parish conference that is closest to the donor’s home.
In the first half of 2012, 22 vehicles were donated within the archdiocese, earning the society more than $17,000.
Since the society is an all-volunteer organization, all proceeds are used to give emergency assistance, including rent, utilities, transportation, medicine and food, to families in need.
Nationally, the program has generated more than $1.5 million in income for the society since its launch in 2010.
To donate a vehicle or for more information on the program, log on to www.svdpusacars.com or call 800-322-8284.
