Tallahassee Car Donations

Save and Transform the Lives of Our Struggling Veterans

Thousands of our troops retire from the service each year, and many of them face serious problems during and after transition back to civilian life. Our Tallahassee, Florida vehicle donations program is meant to address these problems.

Here in Tallahassee, there are more than 8,000 veterans — including more than 2,000 who fought in the Vietnam War and over 3,800 who fought in the First Gulf War or Second Gulf War. The biggest age demographic is between 35 and 54, with more than 2,200 of the area’s veterans in that range. Despite their sacrificial service, these veterans face challenges: More than 11% are at the poverty level, and over 24% deal with disabilities. 

With the funds we generate from your donated vehicles, we at Veteran Car Donations are able to provide funding for the programs of our nonprofit organization partners. These programs are meant to provide our veterans — our retired troops who fought for us to defend our nation’s security and freedoms — the gratifying life they deserve after retirement.

We quickly transfer the proceeds from the sale of your Tallahassee, Florida donations to our military and veteran non-profit organization partners. The funds are then used to support their strategically planned programs for active and retired troops to help them during and after the transition to civilian life.

3 Major Problems Our Veterans Face After Retirement

Our Tallahassee, Florida car donation program seeks to enable our charity partners to provide the services to our veterans that our government could not provide. The services they provide tackle the major problems faced by our veterans, including:

Unemployment – The unemployment rate for veterans was once placed at 13 percent, but this dipped to 11.2 percent after a year. Yet this rate remains higher than the country’s civilian unemployment rate, which is at 7.3 percent. It is estimated that only 40 percent of our troops have prepared for a post-service career.

Post-traumatic stress disorder — An estimated 20 percent of U.S. soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan were found to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or clinical depression upon their arrival back home. The worst cases of this have seen soldiers committing suicide.

Homelessness – Roughly 26 percent of the country’s homeless population have served in the military. After their retirement, veterans have a hard time looking for a job, especially those who suffered disabilities and those who have fallen to substance abuse like drugs and liquor. These former soldiers sometimes end up living on the streets.

Simple and Easy Tallahassee, Florida Donation Process

Our car donation process is so simple and easy that it will take you only a few minutes to complete it. There are actually three easy steps – but you only need to do the first, and then we’ll take care of the rest.

Step 1: Visit our website and fill out our online vehicle donation form. Another option is for you to call us at 877-594-5822. Our friendly donor specialists will ask just a few details about the vehicle you are donating such as its make and model. You will also be asked about your preferred time, date, and location for the pick-up.

Step 2:  We will quickly verify the information you shared. If everything is in order, we will hire a professional tow company to pick up your car. We will pay the towing fee.

Step 3: The tow company will then pick up your vehicle on the agreed date, time, and place. You will receive from us a donation receipt that will release you from all liability on the vehicle you donated to our Tallahassee, Florida program. This allows you to cancel your vehicle registration and insurance coverage.

Later, after we have sold your vehicle during the auction, we will mail you your 100 percent tax-deductible sales receipt, indicating the price that your vehicle was sold at. You can use the amount as the basis of your tax deduction claim when you file your itemized income tax return.
