DONATIONS & GIFTS
We rely on charitable donations, grants and other assistance from our friends and supporters. You can help enrich the lives of more than 800 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Pinellas County. Gifts given to acknowledge loved ones support the mission of PARC as they honor or memorialize loved ones important to the gift giver.
The time to donate is now.

Donate your used car, van, truck, boat, motor home, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, etc. (anything with a title) to PARC! We accept all donations, regardless of age and condition!

Car donations made to a charitable nonprofit organization are tax-deductible. The best practice is to consult with a tax professional on how to maximize your tax deduction since every car donation and tax situation is unique.
