WHAT’S NEWS IN PETERS TOWNSHIP ONE-OF-A-KIND CAR DONATION PROGRAM Community Auto, a nonprofit program of The Lighthouse Foundation, accepts donated cars, repairs and inspects them when feasible, and sells them at discounted prices to low-income working families and individuals. The used car in your garage that you don’t have time to sell, or didn’t get the trade-in value you wanted, or a car the kids used but no longer need would be the perfect car to donate.
