A method configures and maneuvers a self-driving vehicle to deliver a charitable item. One or more processors receive a first message indicating that a donor has a charitable item available for pickup from a pickup location, and a second message indicating that a recipient at a delivery location has a need for the charitable item. The processor(s) match the charitable item to a self-driving vehicle (SDV) that is configurable to transport the charitable item from the pickup location to the delivery location. In response to a risk analysis concluding that a level of a need for the charitable item is greater than a risk to the charitable item and the SDV when transporting the charitable item to the delivery location, the processor(s) modify one or more physical components of the SDV in order to transport the charitable item from the pickup location to the delivery location.
