Senior Services of Alexandria is Partnering with “CARS”
A Vehicle Donation Program that Supports Non-Profits

Senior Services of Alexandria (SSA), through Meals on Wheels America, is partnering with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services), a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California that manages vehicle donation programs for thousands of other nonprofits in North America. CARS processes over 100,000 vehicles a year and has returned over $170 million to their nonprofit partners.

“SSA is pleased to be partnering with CARS and their vehicle donation program, said Mary Lee Anderson, Executive Director of Senior Services of Alexandria. It is an easy way to support Senior Services and its programs by donating a used car to one non-profit while supporting another.”

The proceeds from any used vehicle will support SSA’s Senior Nutrition programs and its increasing needs as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. To find out more about the CARS program click here.

Employer Matching-gift Programs

To further their ability to give back to the community, many businesses operate employer matching-gift programs. Through these programs, employers agree to match an employee’s donation to a local non-profit at a predetermined ratio. This is an excellent way for individuals to increase the size and impact of their gift at no personal additional cost. Contact SSA or your HR office to find out if your company offers a matching-gift program.

Corporate and Foundation Giving

Foundations, local business, and corporations seeking ways to invest in the health of our community should consider making a grant or corporate gift to SSA, with the assurance that it will efficiently translate into support for Alexandria residents. In addition to grants, SSA also offers several opportunities for partnerships, such as program or event sponsorships, naming and visibility opportunities, in-kind giving, employee volunteerism, and more.

Special Events

SSA plans special events throughout the year to unite and thank all of our supporters. Our primary event is the Annual Gala, which takes place each spring and honors community members who have exhibited a commitment to giving their time and energy to Alexandria.
