Your donated car, truck or mini-van will help change lives at Teen Challenge!

For the past 10 years, Teen Challenge has been operating a car donation program, whereby you can donate your used car, truck or mini-van (and other assets too!) and receive a fair market value tax receipt for your vehicle donation.

Teen Challenge is doing a great work right across Canada reaching out to young people and adults who are struggling with life-controlling drug and alcohol problems to give them a new start in life again.  One way your can help Teen Challenge go forward is by donating your used vehicle!
And what happens to these donated vehicles?  Teen Challenge picks them up right at your door (ah, convenience!) evaluates each vehicle as to its condition and how it should be processed and used. Some of course are sold to recyclers, simply because they are 'at the end of the road'. Some are culled to use for transportation needs at Teen Challenge, while others are refurbished in our car shops and resold to help raise funds for our work running Teen Challenge centres across Canada.

If you're considering buying a new or newer vehicle this fall, why not donate your older vehicle to Teen Challenge?  You'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you're helping young people coming to Teen Challenge finding freedom from drug addicion -- and at the same time receive a 'fair market value' tax receipt for your donated vehicle.

If you're interesting in knowing more about donating a vehicle, visit us online at http://www.teenchallenge.ca/ways-to-help/vehiclesdonate

Your donated vehicle will help change lives in your community through the work of Teen Challenge!

Thank you!

More lives will be changed at Teen Challenge because of your monthly support

Last year was a 'banner year' with over 75 young men and women (and some older ones too!) who graduated from our centres!

This represents another milestone - an ever growing volume of graduates year-over-year. Certainly all the thanks goes to the Lord - He is the only one can who permanently change lives!

But thanks also goes to a great team of staff, volunteers and donors, who without their sacrifices and tireless efforts, these good things would not be possible.

In addition to these good things, it's encouraging to know that more graduates than ever are pursuing post secondary education and going on to be doctors, dentists, bio-chemists, pastors and many other worthy endeavours. One graduate recently told me that he wants to pursue bio-chemistry to understand DNA better and to launch a 'creationist ministry' one day. Some great goals indeed!

Of course, all these good things are only possible because people cared enough to give.

One of the best and most convenient ways to help change a life at Teen Challenge is through monthly sponsorship. For only $35 per month you can help change a life -- forever!  And when you join as a sponsor, we'll send you the actual photo of the Teen Challenge student (guy or girl) you're sponsoring. You'll also receive regular 'progress updates' to help you keep track of how your sponsored 'student' is doing.   And you also have the opportunity to personally speak into their life by sending a card of encouragement to your sponsored student at Teen Challenge, as they work their way through the 12 month program. This includes sending a note on Easter, Christmas and pretty much any time of year you wish.

Thank you on behalf of more young people and adults coming to Teen Challenge soon.  Your monthly sponsorship will help raise up a whole new generation of young men and women who are living for God who will go on to tell the world that 'there is a positive cure for drug addiction'.
