Recent winter storms and sub-zero weather are proving to be too much for some metropolitan area residents' vehicles to handle. Save yourself from being stuck in the cold and donate your used car, truck or van to a charity you know and trust: the National Kidney Foundation of New York/New Jersey.

As America's "No. 1 choice for car donations," the foundation will pick up the vehicle free of charge -- even if it's not running -- and issue a letter which can be used for tax purposes. This community service helps people free themselves from the expenses of tags and insurance, bolsters neighborhood clean-up and recycling and helps reduce the amount of air pollutants emitted from old cars.

In addition, by donating, the owner of the vehicle may be eligible for tax deductions which could equal fair-market value. All donations help fund the Kidney Foundation in its fight to drive down the incidence of kidney, hypertensive and urological diseases, which affect one in four people.

Through programs funded by the public, including organ donor awareness, cutting-edge research and support efforts that help families and parents, the foundation is a crucial resource that touches the lives of thousands of people who may be family, friends or neighbors.

The National Kidney Foundation is dedicated to the treatment and cure of kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation. The foundation receives no government support and relies solely on the generosity of corporations and the general public. The foundation also welcomes gifts of real estate and appreciated securities.
