    Your Junk or Our Treasure?
    clunker

    Is there an eyesore in your driveway? Turn that old clunker into a tax deduction for you and cash for Parkway Partners! We've formed an alliance with another nonprofit that will pick up your car and repair or junk it and split the proceeds with us. They'll take cars, motorcycles, campers, RVs, farm equipment, just about anything on wheels. You get the documentation you'll need for a tax deduction.

    Link below to fill out the form to donate to us. If you complete a form from their web site be sure to designate Parkway Partners as the recipient charity!
