New giving option now available
Your old vehicle could help “drive” the Good Samaritan Program at a Presbyterian Manor senior living community of your choice.
You can donate your car, truck, boat or other unneeded vehicle through PMMA’s new vehicle donation program. When you call the toll-free number, we’ll arrange to pick up the vehicle, even if it’s not running.You will need to provide your vehicle’s title with the vehicle. Its sale price is then tax deductible.You can consult IRS Publication 526 to help you figure its current value. GIVING OPTION

Donating your vehicle is a win/win. It becomes a tax deduction for you, and it helps support the Good Samaritan Program at Presbyterian Manor.
