Overview

Mission

Greater Lynchburg Habitat for Humanity works with volunteers, donors, and partners to rally around families to help them build and own a home they can feel proud of and secure in.

By donating a car to our vehicle donation program, you can help Habitat for Humanity of Lynchburg build houses in partnership with families in need of a hand up, not a hand out. It is quick and easy to donate automobiles, trucks, boats, RV’s, motorcycles, construction equipment and other vehicles – running or not! Plus, you may be eligible for a tax deduction.
