Give a lift
United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta is now accepting vehicle donations. Through a partnership with a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, drivers can call United Way 2-1-1 to schedule pickup of their car or truck, whether it’s running or not.

The donation is tax-deductible, and the proceeds will help United Way continue to improve the lives of metro Atlanta residents. Dial 2-1-1 or email car_donations@unitedwayatlanta.org today, and find out how your set of wheels can give our whole community a lift.

Be a leader
Join United Way's African American Partnership or Women's Legacy programs, or join the Volunteer Involvement Program (V.I.P.), which can prepare you to serve on a nonprofit board.
