Vehicle Donation

The vehicles received by Teen Challenge are assessed at our shop and processed in a variety of ways, including:

• AUCTION or SELL PRIVATELY:  Our graduates and clients do minor mechanical and detailing work on the vehicle to prepare it to be sold at auction.
• RECYCLER:  Our graduates and clients strip the vehicle of valuable parts and the bulk weight is sold to a local recycler.
• FLEET:  Occasionally we are able to register a donated vehicle and use it at the Teen Challenge centre for client appointments, food donation pickups and various daily errands.

Your vehicle benefits the Teen Challenge charity in a twofold way - by the valuable vocational experience the clients gain at the shop, and with the proceeds raised from the processed vehicles going back into our recovery and awareness programs.

• The vehicle is picked up by our driver at no charge to you.
• You receive a tax-deductible charitable donation receipt for your vehicle. 
• You have the satisfaction of knowing that your donation truly helps give someone who was once controlled by drugs and alcohol a chance at a new life, free from addiction.

Currently our minimum receipt value is $500 in Brandon and area, $500 in Winnipeg and area, and $440 in NW Ontario. This is just the starting point and receipts are often higher as a reflection of variables such as price of steel, processing revenues, etc. Please call the office for more information.
