You should run a Google search and see what comes up. If I had to do it again, I would have chosen a service that provides funding for children’s surgeries.

I donated my car, worth about $2500.00 and got a receipt for $500.00. Hummmm, Kars4Kids has to provide documentation to the IRS for any donation over $500 so I think they just cap off everything at that amount. Did I mention, Beware!?!
ASPCA I found out after I already donated will at least give you a receipt for what your car is worth.

The comments here are absolutely right it’s a Orthodox Jewish religious charity that purposely hides behind cute advertising and catchy jingles. I’m so insulted they won’t come out and say who they are. They fooled my 80 year old grandmother into donating a car. They are on my enemy list forever. Liars and Jerks. Don’t believe them

I believe they are also being investigated for helping to hide cash in a money laudering scheme.

Not starving, freezing, homeless, sick children of all races and creeds. These folks use the proceeds to buy land, build day camps, and pay for the clergy and mexicans who work at these camps. That said, I could not stand for ANY child to be distressed or at-risk, but these people are using these alarming terms in a misleading manner. This is a community that has men working for cash and claiming welfare for their families since their clergy is not certified for performing marraiges. Therefore the women collect welfare for all of the children they give birth to and raise, while the men are basically considered lifetime students which they recieve state and federal money for as well.

But it’s not all fine and well and it’s not all that matters. There is no doubt that intentional deception is at work here. Here is a question. Would the people involved in the organization want the children to know that the money came from people being intentionaly decieved? Of course they will deny it. But anyone with any common sense can see that they have intentionaly left out the religious agenda. That is simply wrong and it’s not a lesson I would want for my kids.

Their commercials run NATIONWIDE. You hear them in Chicago, you hear them in Oklahoma, you hear them in California. The ad buyer for this charity has got to be making a FORTUNE. Why should people from all over the country be sending Jewish kids in NJ to summer camp? Who owns the camp? How are the kids chosen for the camp? Can anyone apply or is it just a “friends and family” thing? Somebody is making tons of money on this (annoying) advertising and you can’t find their IRS reporting or check out their charity on any of the charity reporting sites. Give to the local Lung Association or Cancer Society. I gave our old BMW to the local classical music radio station. BTW, if you get something for your donation, don’t you lose any tax deduction. I will never give anything to a group who annoys me as much as those commercials do.
