Local context — Kentucky
In Kentucky, commercial and fleet vehicles have a special place, often stemming from local businesses that have served their communities. Many donations come from retirees looking to downsize or companies streamlining operations. Plus, with the growing trend of remote work, many business owners are parting ways with their fleet vehicles, creating an opportunity for you to donate. Whether you're in the heart of Lexington or on the outskirts of Covington, your past service vehicle can now serve a noble cause.
