Donating real estate to Meals on Wheels America is a great way to support our mission to empower local community programs to improve the health and quality of life of the seniors they serve so that no one is left hungry or isolated.
Meals on Wheels America partners with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to process real estate donations to benefit Meals on Wheels America. Our program may accept any property type (land, homes, commercial) in any location so long as there is equity. Even if you owe back taxes, have a mortgage balance, or deferred maintenance, it's no problem. CARS will pay off all loans, liens and commissions owed and pay all closing costs. If you have a real estate asset that is costing you money or not being utilized, donating it is a great way to give back and you may even be able to claim a significant tax deduction, so long as the property has equity and meets the other requirements of CARS and Meals on Wheels America.
