We always have a great experience when working with Hands of The Carpenter. Merrill Automotive donated a car to Hands in August and it couldn’t have been any easier. Love the way our community is working together for each other. Thank you Hands of The Carpenter!

This ministry is beyond awesome! Having my car picked up at my house made it super easy! Got my tax info promptly. Im so delighted my old car will benefit a single low-income woman. Highly recommend Hands of the Carpenter!

We were so happy to donate our car to this organization. We know that it will help young families who might be experiencing hardships. It was a very easy process.

Hands of the Carpenter made it very easy to donate my car to a good cause. If I ever have need I will be calling them in the future! If they are as good with their clients as they are donors, then this place has got to be great all around!

Very nice people. Easy to work with. I am glad my daughters old car was used to help folks in need. GOD bless.

I donated our old family van to Hands of the Carpenter. They were a pleasure to work with and the process was seamless. I had thought about selling the van, but giving it to an organization that can help someone was worth much more than what I might have made from selling it. Our old van is now giving someone in need new hope. Please consider donating your old car. It can make a tremendous difference is someone’s life.

I had an older car that I wanted to get rid of but selling it didnt feel right. Someone told me about Hands and how they were a Christian company that help women in need of cars. I was really excited and felt that this was what I was supposed to do with my car. They were great and made the donation super easy! They even towed it for me because it had been over heating. They were able to sell it to raise money for parts for other cars. Great company. Awesome mission. God bless!

Easiest experience to donate our car. It was missing a front bumper, but they replaced it, gave it to a single mom, and even sent us a video so we could see who it went to. Cant say enough good things about this organization and the work they do.

This place is so amazing. So grateful something like this exist. I was about to get into an affordable RELIABLE car. They take such good care of you!! From begining to end. They really care about the women they serve! So so so so blessed

This is a great charity for sharing cars with less fortunate. I found it very easy to drop off my car & get a tax receipt. I have done this twice and both times the staff were courteous and professional. Highly recommend.

I am so pleased that we found Hands of the Carpenter when it was time to donate our old vehicles. We recently donated our second vehicle to them and we just couldnt feel better about what is happening with the cars we have loved and driven for so long. That they are going to help others in some way is our greatest wish. The donation process was seamless and so easy. Thank you so much for the work you do!

Words cant describe how wonderful these people are. They helped my mom on various occasions including getting her set up with a wonderful new vehicle. Hearts of gold at this organization, highly reccomend, please support HOTC however you can! Thank you!!! 😊

This is an absolutely fantastic organization! My wife and I donated two vehicles to them and from first contact to pickup to getting our tax deduction paperwork from them was flawless. Communication with them was efficient and straightforward. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to donate a vehicle and yes they are a stellar organization offering a much needed service.

I donated my second car to Hands of the Carpenter. Everything think went very well. I have no complaints

The process was easy. Hardest part was making the call.

I love that Hands of the Carpenter actually helps people rather than simply selling vehicles, taking the money, and maybe giving some away like many such charities do. Hands actually works with moms to help them out and get them a vehicle they can use. Even vehicles like mine which they sell support the moms directly.

Donating our car was an easy process, and we knew supporting Hands would help a family that needs a vehicle. Hands does an incredible service to the community.

We chose to donate our 2002 MINI to Hands of the Carpenter because we liked their approach of getting reliable transportation directly into the hands of needy women by undertaking repairs before providing the cars to their clients. However, because the MINI was a 5-speed, and most of their clients need automatics, they ended up selling the car and using the proceeds for their requirements. But we were OK with that because we also wanted to help a charity with minimal overhead, where the donation value would be used almost entirely for those in need. The donation process was simple--we drove it to their offices and signed over the title. That was it! They even offered to have it towed if it wasnt drivable, but we wanted to save them the tow cost, so chose to drive there instead. They seem like really good people, and I am glad we chose Hands of the Carpenter!

This organization makes a difference in peoples lives; people like you and me. The process of donating my vehicle was straightforward, simple and expeditious with no hassles and only the requirement of having a clear title and a car key! If you can, donate and help others!

The process of donating my car was very simple. I called ahead and asked a few questions then dropped it off and filled out some information. Done. They sent me a letter of receipt for taxes. Couldnt have been simpler.

The giving process for an old car was simple and straight forward. Thank you!!

A fantastic organization, doing what Jesus has commissioned us to do: Love your Neighbour. I came across the company on radio talk show 94.7 KRKS many years ago and was impressed with what they were doing. The impact they are making in our Colorado community stuck in my head, then many years later I had a car that I needed to get rid of. I immediately looked them up and offered my car for donation. The process is of course so easy to do. Giving is not only a duty I believe we all have but it sure brings rewards as well. What a wonderful experience to be able to help others enormously with only a small gift on our part. If you are reading this and thinking of buying a new car, consider donating your old one. The “credit” you may get at your dealer is in comparison so insignificant compared to the help you give to those single women that need a helping hand.

We had an old car in good condition and relatively few miles. Hands of the Carpenter made it very easy to donate for a purpose that is close to our hearts.

Donating a vehicle is so easy, and for such a good cause.

Easy coordinating and easy paperwork. Very satisfied with my vehicle tax value

I couldnt think of a better place to donate my car.

This is a very positive and uplifting business. So thankful that they are a well established member of our community

Hands of the Carpenter provides a terrific service and the process of donating my vehicle painless.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This is a top notch organization. I have donated cars to other non-profits in the past - and 99% of them merely throw the car up on the auction block and you receive a fraction of the value of the car for tax purposes. Not so with Hands of the Carpenter - they go the extra mile, take the extra time to maximize the cars value - providing fixed up, reliable transportation for someone in need AND granting me a maximum charitable donation. A true win-win. Super easy transaction, and delightful, caring people to work with.

Friendly and professional staff and a mission I believe in. Thank you HANDS for what you do.

We LOVE Hands of the Carpenter! What a beautiful organization!! They made the process of donating our car SO simple (we were literally there ten minutes at the most), and it is unbelievable how much love/money/work they put into these cars to make them like they are almost new for these single mamas! Watching the video of the new owner of our car brought tears to our eyes. It was beautiful and made me wish I could donate a hundred cars! Dan, Brenda, Juli and the entire team are amazing at Hands of the Carpenter. We would HIGHLY recommend donating your car. I promise you, it will go to a great, deserving home!!

So easy to donate my car. So very thankful my car found its way to someone who needs it. Amazing organization.

What an amazing place this is! I was pleased to be a part of their mission and to interact with them. Daniel and his crew and truly doing Gods work in the community

Hands of the Carpenter is an amazing place with a genuine purpose. They help single moms with the practical things needed (cars) to make a life and living for their families. Donating our car was a seamless and easy process. They are so friendly and helpful! I cant say enough good things about this group or our experience with them!

Amazing place.

Everything went well when I contacted Hands of the Carpenter on their web site. Brenda call and informed me about a tow to pick up my car that I was donating. Jason, the tow truck driver called me on the day of the pickup and arrived early afternoon. I received a receipt from him for the donated car, he was very accommodating with this process. It was my pleasure to donate my car to Hands of the Carpenter for their cause. I found out about this process from Rob Knuth, sale representative from Stevinson Chevrolet.

Hands of the Carpenter is a wonderful organization doing great things for the people in our community. We have donated many cars to their organization, and the process of donation couldnt be any easier. You simply call them and give them the vehicle information, and they schedule a driver to come out and pick it up. Quick and easy. It is a true blessing to be able to work with them and have a small part in helping others. I highly recommend you give them a call and donate your next vehicle here.

We bought a new truck our old truck was good to us for 17 years! We wanted it to go to a good charity so I called our church and asked what charity they suggested. We received the name Hands of the carpenter, we took the truck down on a Saturday and everything went smoothly! We would refer this charity to anyone needing an amazing place to donate their vehicle.

Wonderful organization that picked up, fixed, and placed my car with a person in need. Very simple process!

Fantastic organization dedicated to doing good. The donation process was incredibly easy and we are truly blessed and humbled to have helped someone in need.

Great people doing great work. The fact that they fix up and provide our vehicles to those who need them, rather than selling them at auction, means that the size of your tax deductible donation is larger in that you may write off the fair market value of the vehicle rather than the proceeds received at auction, which generally are a fraction of the vehicles value. The people doing the work could not be more professional or helpful throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend donating a vehicle through Hands of the Carpenter. My wife and I feel good that her car went to a family that really needs it. Its more than just a tax write-off. The staff at Hands were great to work with and they gave us nice feedback regarding the family that ultimately benefitted from it.

We had a great experience working with Hands of the Carpenter! They were very thorough and answered all of my questions. Its great to work with a company that helps single woman in need!

We donated our car, and the whole process was very smooth. I love seeing how this organization is filling in the gaps for women in a very practical way by providing cars to those in need, fixing their cars at low cost, and by running a garage open to the public to support their work. Win, win, win!!

It is wonderful to know that our well-cared for car will continue to be a blessing for a woman in need. The process to donate the car was hassle free. They even offered to have the car picked up at no cost to me even though we dropped it off. Truly a first class organization!

Hands of a carpenter assisted my family to get back into a car! Everyone here is so nice and make you feel like a family! They assist single moms in need of transportation! Thank you so much!

A group that is doing real good with your car donations. Very easy to work with and all very kind people. They came and picked up the car, invested to make ready for a single mom to use. A great cause for sure

I wish there were more programs like this. It is such a great need! It was a very simple and streamlined process for our family to donate our car. A solid program working for a great cause.

I was looking for a local organization to donate my car to and found these guys on Google. After a bit of reading, I decided they were who I wanted to have my car. Everything was quick and easy. I got an appointment shortly after submitting a form online and they came to me to pick up the car. Hopefully it makes somebody as happy as it made us all those years.

We had heard of this nonprofit through my wifes work in the community. They have a GREAT purpose and donating a car was really easy to do. Our car wouldnt even start yet they were able to use it to help someone (and give us credit for a donation at the Fair Market Value!).

Shalom friends,We are the Fraziers. We learned about Hands of the Carpenter on Christian radio. What attracted us to the ministry of Hands is their heart for women / families. Helping them to get back on their feet and assertively re-establish themselves into society. My wife and I prayed and agreed that wed love to donate one of our cars to Hands. It was a wise choice and from start to finish a very smooth process. Brenda was our contact person and she even came out to our home and picked up the car. We received a follow up EZ contribution Tax Certificate as well as a note of thanks from the recipient. As if that wasnt enough we also received a letter of thanks from the ministry director. Hands of The Carpenter is a true expression of Gods love towards those in dire need. We are honored to be Hands Champions and will recommend this ministry to all of our friends and family. Thank you Hands and may the blessings of God continue in your efforts to bless so many.

I had a tremendously smooth and easy experience with HOC! Brenda was immensely responsive to my questions and coordinated a time and a volunteer from Denver to pick up my vehicle in Boulder a day AFTER I had moved to Alaska! This allowed me ample time to say good-bye to friends. I am really impressed with their efficiency of collecting and repairing vehicles too! I am happy and proud to be a part of their impact on the community and in peoples lives.

I was happy knowing that my car was going to be re purposed and had some value to a person in need. This is the 3rd car that my family has donated to the Hands of the Carpenter. Every experience weve had with this organization has been great! Thank You!

The process to donate a car was much easier than I expected. They were on time and gave me notice as to when they would be by to pick up the car. Great communication and no surprises.Would gladly donate again when and if the time arises.

Our donation experience with Hands of the Carpenter was extremely easy. We had a car that out children had used in high school and college, but we no longer needed it. It was in good running condition, in fact we used it for commuting up until the day we donated it. We thought about trying to sell it ourselves, but it needed shocks and didnt want the hassle and uneasiness associated with meeting strangers. Hands of the Carpenter made it so easy. I simply dropped off the car and they even gave me a ride back to where I needed to go. Above all, their mission to help single women in the community really struck a chord with us and we used the donation as part of our giving commitment. Above all, they sent us a short video of the recipient of the car expressing her thanks for the car, making the donation very personal and all the more satisfying. I cannot recommend Hands of the Carpenter highly enough.

I was wondering what I should do with my Jeep. A few coworkers asked if I thought about donating the vehicle. One of my coworkers Googled places and found Hands of the Carpenter. She read me their mission and I knew it was the Lord who put all the pieces in place.I filled out the form on line. I then received a call. I gave my information and where the Jeep was located. Hands of the Carpenter arranged for everything and a few weeks later I received my donation documentation.The whole process was so easy! I definitely would recommend others donate to Hands of the Carpenter!!!

I called this organization to donate my vehicle. They were very prompt in scheduling a pick up and everything went smoothly. The receipt for the donation came a couple weeks after the donation. Im glad that I could help out this great organization!

Great Organization. They made the entire process very easy. Knowing that your donation will help individuals in this community is wonderful.

The donation process was simple. I called and they sent a truck out within a few days to get the car. I wasnt sure what would happen with the car once it was donated but they kept me informed of its progress and even sent me photos of the car with its new owner.

We donated our car to Hands of the Carpenter. The process was easy and we nave a nice tax write off for this coming year. But the best part is what Hands does to support single mothers. Glad to be of help.

I donated a used Dodge Durango and the great people at Hand of the Carpenter made the necessary repairs and help a mom in need!

I learned about Hands of the Carpenter through the mens ministry at my church. The donation process was easy as they even came and picked up my vehicle. These folks are doing great things for people in need to help them get reliable transportation. Thank you, Hands!

We had a great experience donating a car. Everyone was friendly, professional and very helpful. If you are looking to donate a car, I would recommend donating to Hands of the Carpenter.

This non profit organization assists single mothers in the Denver area become mobile or fix your vehicle and you only pay a percentage! This organization is wonderful!

Donating our vehicle was simple and almost effortless. They made it easy and its good to know that the vehicles are helping those in need of reliable transportation.

Donating my car to this fine charity was apleasant and rewarding experience as everyoneI dealt with was very accommodating and helpful.

This company does NOT give vehicles to women in need!! They claim to be a non profit that assists women in need with vehicle transportation from vehicles donated to them but what they do not publicly share is that they charge these woman 35% of Kelly Blue Book value on the vehicle and the women have to have full funds up front before they are approved for the vehicle, there is no payment options. They take vehicles that were given to them, put a few dollars in them and sell them to woman? Also what they don’t mention is that they are getting vehicles donated daily and they place maybe 3 a month to woman, the other vehicles go to auction, the scrap yard or the nicer vehicles are put on the lot to be sold to the public at full KBB value. They claim that all the proceeds go back into the program to help woman but if you are only placing 3 vehicles a month out of 30+ and making 35% of the vehicles that are placed and money from auction, scrap and vehicle sales where is the remainder? They also run a full mechanic shop that charges $110 a labor hour plus part mark up for the public that brings in a fairly good profit every month, they also receive countless cash donations from local organizations and churches, fundraisers, ext. every month. BG donates all additives and specialty equipment/tools for the placement vehicles, local part stores donate parts, oil, ext. NAPA donates countless tools and carts for the shop. They also have a program to help women get their vehicles fixed for 50% of the total bill which sounds like a great deal but they neglect to mention that they still have part mark up which ranges from 25-35% per part and they charge half their labor so even at 50% off they are still making a small profit. They have partner shops that volunteer labor and free parts to fix what is needed on certain donate vehicles to be placed but still charging the woman 35% when they pay nothing for parts or labor, they have volunteer teams come in every month to fix the donate vehicles or if they are to busy to get caught up on public or program vehicles they have the volunteer teams fix them without the customer knowing most times and still charge for labor. This company is so busy trying to do public vehicle repairs that they neglect fixing and placing donate vehicles to women in need. This shop pulls in more money a month than most other local shops do and they have less overhead, how they still legally fall under non profit Is questionable. I encourage anyone who is thinking of donating their vehicle for a good cause to take a deeper look into how these type of companies/organizations work and if they are actually for a good cause

Great mission and great people that are doing their best for others less fortunate.

Thank you John for posting, and I am confirming your comments. What I have noticed is companies using a non-profit entity without the obligations as a non-profit. I came to this organization referred by Family Tree. Started the intake on June 4th. Waited and waited. Finally someone called and wanted me to send 1) proof of registration, 2) drivers license 3)and proof of insurance. I scanned and emailed these items BEFORE even meeting in person, which still concerns me that they have personal identifiable information. During the intake it was really stressed, and stressed again about how much money I have, and that I would have to have enough money to pay the mechanic. I asked how much would I be expected to pay and the intake personnel stated she did not know, without seeing the car. I told her I would probably use my credit card that had about $600, she said that sounded enough. Last time I checked, many women in need usually do not have a line of credit for $600.00 and that is why programs like Family Tree refer those to services that are supposed to offer low cost assistance, esp after hearing how much assistance with supplies and inventory, free staffing, etc, etc.Waited some more. 2 weeks later someone calls and asks if I sent proof of registration, told them I sent it already, they then ask me if i still need their services, (as if the car fixed itself), I said yes and then she sets me up for an inspection. Im then told that the inspection is in Golden, and that they are very far away and was I sure I wanted to drive all the way out there? The method of deterrence that was used worked. In summary: 1) I wasted a lot of time 2) I sent personal identifiable information without getting any services 3) I was deterred by lagging response, pressured to require extensive financial resources, and nature of car emergency repair which resulted in going somewhere else. I could not wait any longer. Due to the fact I delayed the (potentially dangerous) brake issue in my car, it ended up costing me more money, because i kept waiting, waiting for this company to respond. The mechanic in Englewood told me had I bought it in when I asked Hands of C for assistance the only repair wouldve been shoes/pads. Ended costing replacement of rotors, pads and calipers. AWARENESS FACTOR: Donating to Charities-please please be aware of who donate to. Do your research. Many citizens donate thinking that this goes to those in need, but instead it goes to non-profit pockets (operational costs) doing the bare minimum to pass as a non-profit. Luckily the non-profit world is somewhat close knitted, and Ive already told Family Tree about this scam-like practice and do not recommend or refer anyone to any of their services. Hope everyone becomes aware. It really is sicking when we find out our donated funds are corruptly allocated. If they get all this assistance that John enumerated on, why are they asking women upfront money? Why? Wonder if this will get deleted?

Hi, Im not sure what to think of this place. I met with Crystal back in December of 2017 and she said, she would call me on the 22th of December and I heard from her. I left voicemails and sent emails and nothing back. Im not sure who I could get in contact with about my car repairs and where Im on the waiting list.

Awesome place 👍

Great cause, made the process easy

This charity provides support for single women who sometimes have no where to get help elsewhere.
