Turn Your Vehicle Into Meaningful Change
Cartober 2026 is here, and an unwanted vehicle could help someone else move toward a better future.
Throughout October, VOA Southeast is inviting supporters to donate cars, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, boats and other vehicles. Your vehicle donation can help support health, housing and human services across Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.
The donation process is convenient, pickup is free and your vehicle can help VOA Southeast continue serving people throughout the region.
What Is Cartober 2026?
Cartober is a nationwide October campaign that highlights the power of vehicle donations.
A car that sits unused in a driveway may still have significant value. Through Cartober 2026, that vehicle can become funding for nonprofit programs that help individuals, families and communities.
Donating also offers a convenient alternative to selling, repairing or storing a vehicle you no longer need. Instead, you can give it a new purpose while supporting a cause that matters to you.
How Your Vehicle Donation Helps
VOA Southeast is a ministry of service dedicated to helping people reach their full potential.
Through health, housing and human services, we support thousands of people across Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Our programs serve:
- Veterans
- Children and families
- Older adults
- People with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Individuals experiencing mental health challenges
- Pregnant and postpartum women working toward recovery
- People seeking greater stability and independence
Your Cartober 2026 vehicle donation helps VOA Southeast continue providing compassionate and effective services throughout the region.
An unwanted vehicle can help support safe housing, recovery resources, veterans services, community-based care and opportunities for people with disabilities to live and work more independently.

Help Spread the Word About Cartober
You do not need to own an unwanted vehicle to support Cartober 2026.
Share the campaign with your friends, relatives and coworkers. Someone you know may have a vehicle they no longer use but may not realize that donating it is an option.
You can also share VOA Southeast’s Cartober posts on social media and use #Cartober2026 to help more people discover the campaign.
Give Your Unwanted Vehicle a New Purpose
Cartober 2026 is about more than clearing space in a driveway. It is an opportunity to turn something you no longer need into support for people throughout the Southeast.
What looks like an old vehicle can become part of something much larger. It can help a veteran find stability, support a woman on her path to recovery or create new opportunities for a person with a disability.
This October, put the good in goodbye.
