Established in 1996, The Original 1-800-Charity Cars is a 501(C) (3) non-profit charity with its stated mission “To engage in activities that will uplift humanity”. The organization’s main focus is to provide free donated vehicles to struggling families to assist them in their transition from dependency to self-sufficiency. They are considered the pioneers of the free car-ownership concept. Their entrepreneurial organization is totally self-sufficient and succeeds without a penny of government funding.
Struggling families nationwide apply for a free charity car at the organization’s car distribution website. Their website was designed to make the process of choosing who receives a free vehicle as fair as possible by providing a forum where individuals can engage the public and pro-actively pursue their dream of car-ownership. FCC members invest “sweat equity” by voting for others and promoting the charity. The website also provides the charity with the ability to quickly identify qualified recipients in communities nationwide and to match each donated vehicle with each prospective applicant’s specific need. Surprisingly, the unique website has organically morphed into an ever expanding, caring online community offering compassion and hope to struggling Americans.
How It Works
Step 1 – Create Your Profile
Creating your profile is fun, fast and free. This is an opportunity to tell the world your story. Explain why you are the most deserving candidate* and why everyone should vote for you. You can make us laugh…or you can make us cry. Either way, don’t hold anything back…let it all hang out!
* Even if you don’t need a Free Charity Car you can create a profile, vote and promote, and transfer your votes to a deserving friend.
Step 2 – Generate Votes & Promote
Generating votes is crucial to receiving a Free Charity Car. By generating votes your profile attains a higher page rank, thus moving you up the list to have your application reviewed when a donated vehicle becomes available in your area. The process of generating votes and promoting FCC “pays it forward” by spreading the word and increasing the popularity of our website which leads to additional vehicle donations that can be awarded to our neighbors, and maybe… even to you. The more you help others… the more you help yourself. Remember, we’re all in this together… we are all one.
Step 3 – Bond With Supportive Friends & Apply for a Free Charity Car
The Free Charity Cars website is a caring online community offering compassion and hope. Our loving members form special bonds and support one another through life’s toughest challenges. Many members report that they find the process of simply sharing their story very therapeutic. As you develop friendships and vote for others, you receive votes in return. The very act of daily voting for others creates good karma for you, and serves as an affirmation of love and hope for the recipient of that vote. By voting and promoting you will improve your profile’s page rank, help others, and be at the forefront to be selected to have your application reviewed when a vehicle is donated in your area.*
* Free Charity Cars usually reviews the applications of top ranked members first so keep generating votes and always stay active on the site.

I’m a battered mother and wife. I had to leave my home and move to a new state where I have no family to save my life. I have four kids with no job, and no way of getting them to their new school. I’m currently living in a shelter where we had our very first experience with bed bugs and some weird bacteria infection. I deal with depression on a regular basis but lately it’s been worse. I’m looking for a new church home and job and I want to finish school, all I want is a little help.
my story is not any different than anyone elses in a lot of ways. i have three beautiful boys. A blessing in itsself. they mean the world to me. I am currently homeless and could use a car to get alot of things taken care of first being a home. I also want to go back to college. I have many things that i would use a car for the boys personally i.e. dentist, doctor, school, emergencies ect. If i were blessed enough then it would also be used for the family i.e. grocery shopping, family outings ect.. i wish we could all win one but only God knows who needs it the most. Best of luck to all.
