Vehicle Donation Program Supports Local Red Cross Work

RedCrossMotors, in cooperation with the American Red Cross of the Greater Lehigh Valley, converts donated vehicles into real dollars to help those in need. RedCrossMotors accepts motorized vehicles, including boats, trailers, trucks, motorcycles, motor homes and more, running or not. The vehicle must have properly inflated tires, a complete engine and a clear title (no liens) to be accepted into the program.

Call RedCrossMotors toll-free at 1-877-RCDONOR (1-877-723-6667), 24 hours a day.
