Make Room in Your Garage for Your ‘New Toys’ – Donate
Your Old Boat or RV to Autos for Arc October 14 & 15

MINNEAPOLIS – If you’ve been longing for some new motorized “toys” but your garage is too full, make room by donating your old vehicles to Autos for Arc October 14 & 15 at Arc’s Value Village Thrift Stores and participating MarineMax boat dealers. You’ll be helping out a worthy cause, and you might just win a free trip!

All kinds of vehicles are welcome – boats, trailers, campers, motorcycles, snowmobiles, trucks and cars. Everyone who stops by the seven drop-off locations during this special donation event can enter a prize drawing for Sun Country airline tickets.

Car lovers who come to Arc’s Value Village in Richfield from noon – 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 15, can also meet Paul Brand. Nationally-known auto expert, troubleshooter, race-car driver and leading Midwest instructor of law enforcement pursuit driving, Brand is also the host of KSTP-AM’s AutoTalk show, the only Twin Cities radio show devoted to automobiles.

Whether or not you win the Sun Country tickets, you still get great benefits when you donate a vehicle to Autos for Arc. You get a tax deduction for the sale price of your vehicle – always useful when tax time rolls around! You can also feel good because your donation makes a difference for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families through the programs and services of Arc Greater Twin Cities.
