The NKF also stands strong in its commitment to increase the availability of all organs for transplantation. Proceeds from Kidney Cars are used to support the many programs in this community so your unwanted vehicle become a life-saving machine HERE -- in Tennessee. The Donor - The Kidney Cars Program is a FREE and EASY way to get rid of an unwanted vehicle, if you are: Spending too much time or money on repairs. Unhappy with the trade-in value offered for your vehicle. Unwilling to go through the time, expense, loss of privacy and possible security risk of selling the vehicle yourself and dealing with strangers. Tired of paying registration fees and insurance premiums on an infrequently used vehicle. Looking for a potential tax deduction. Interested in supporting programs and services of the National Kidney Foundation. The Environment - The primary way the Kidney Cars Program helps the environment is through whole vehicle reuse: the creation of another life for vehicles that would otherwise have been sent on for end-of-life processing. Those vehicles, previously destined for scrapping, that are repairable, are given the chance to be utilized again as a whole vehicle. (As long as the emissions systems are still in working order!) Each year thousands of vehicles are donated to The National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Cars Program! Those that can't be repaired and reused are recycled in the most environmentally friendly ways possible. And, the money from all that scrap material helps kidney patients! It's a win-win situation.
