ABOUT

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

IMG_7002-1-1296x967_edited.jpg

Qualified families partner with Habitat for Humanity by working a significant number of sweat equity hours to build their house or those of other families. The "sweat equity" requirement is designed to provide the family with personal involvement in the mission and ministry of Habitat, which is to provide a pathway for families to experience God's love and to live their lives to the fullest as He intended.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Our Mission Statement

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. 

About Habitat for Humanity of Kershaw County

Habitat for Humanity of Kershaw County is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity of Kershaw County is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing new homes and advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.

All Are Welcome

Habitat for Humanity of Kershaw County has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.

How do I donate my car in Kershaw County? You can donate your car in 4 easy steps: 1. Start your donation online by navigating to our donation wizard, or call our hotline: 1-877-277-4344 2. Our team will ask about your vehicle, including the make, model, vehicle identification number (VIN) and current mileage. 3. When your vehicle is accepted, schedule a day and time for us to pick it up. 4. Receive your tax receipt.

​

What type of vehicle can I donate?

● Car

● Truck

● Boat

● RV

● ATV’s and UTV’s

● Motorcycle

● Construction or farm equipment

● Any other vehicle ― running or not! All submissions are subject to evaluation. Due to donation location and condition, some vehicles may not be accepted.

Can I donate a vehicle that does not run? Absolutely! Your vehicle does not need to be running in order to donate it. But, it does need to have all tires inflated so we can tow it away. All submissions are subject to evaluation. Due to donation location and condition, some vehicles may not be accepted.

What happens to my vehicle after my vehicle donation is accepted? About half of donated vehicles are sold to licensed dealers through wholesale auctions, giving them a second chance as transportation.. The other half goes to auto salvage yards, where usable parts—like batteries, tires, and fluids—are carefully removed. What’s left is crushed, shredded, and recycled into new steel. Donated vehicles are not given or sold to the general public; to protect donors and Habitat affiliates, they are sold only to licensed, bonded and insured wholesale dealers. Funding from the sale of each vehicle donation supports Habitat’s local programs in your community—helping families build strength and stability through affordable housing. After your vehicle is sold, we'll send you a letter with the sale details for your records. How much of a tax write-off do I get for donating my car? When your vehicle is sold, that will determine the value. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you may be eligible to deduct the full selling price. If your vehicle sells for $500 or less, you can deduct the “fair market value” of your vehicle, up to $500. We recommend that you talk to your tax advisor to determine your personal tax deduction situation.
