Drive Change with Us: Cartober 2025 is Here!
Get ready to rev up your engines and drive change this October with Cartober 2025! Here’s everything you need to know about Cartober and how you can support The Salvation Army through a vehicle donation.

What is Cartober?
Cartober is an online giving campaign held throughout the month of October to showcase the power of vehicle donations for nonprofits. Whether it's a car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or boat, Cartober encourages people to donate their unwanted vehicles to their favorite nonprofits. By donating a vehicle, people like you can make a tangible difference in their communities and support causes they care about.

Our Mission
For more than 150 years, The Salvation Army has provided spiritual, emotional, and social assistance to people in need—serving all without discrimination. Each year, our Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) help more than 150,000 individuals attain stability and self-sufficiency, offering hope for the future.

When you donate a vehicle during Cartober, you provide vital funding that allows us to continue this life-changing work. Your gift supports our programs, ensures that vulnerable individuals receive the help they need, and empowers families and communities nationwide.

How You Can Get Involved
There are several ways you can get involved in Cartober and support our cause:

  1. Donate Your Vehicle: If you have an unwanted car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or boat, consider donating it to Best Friends during Cartober. Your vehicle donation will directly support our programs and initiatives. Visit cartober.com/nonprofit/western-arc-salvation-army or call 855-227-1822 to learn more.
  2. Spread the Word: Share information about Cartober on social media and encourage your friends and family to participate. Use the hashtag #Cartober2025 to join the conversation and raise awareness about the campaign.

Why Cartober Matters
Making an impact has never been more important. Your vehicle donation provides essential funding to keep Salvation Army programs running strong in every zip code across the U.S. With your support, we can continue to deliver vital services, instill hope, and help individuals and families thrive.

Join us in celebrating the power of vehicle donations and making a difference in our community. Together, we can drive change and create a brighter future for all.
