Since 2015, Veteran Car Donations has enabled communities like Battle Creek to provide life-changing support for veterans through vehicle donations. On this page, we’ll share with you how simple the donation process is, how veterans benefit, and which vehicles qualify. Call 877-594-5822 to learn more about the program.
Your old car may hold lots of great memories, but keeping it on the road takes a toll on your wallet. As vehicles age, repairs, maintenance, registration, and insurance only get more expensive. Instead of putting more money into a car that keeps breaking down, you can donate the vehicle to Veteran Car Donations through our Battle Creek, Michigan car donations program and put it to better use.
Donating your vehicle to us is the fastest and easiest way to get rid of an unwanted car. At the same time, your donation helps veterans in your community who are dealing with service-connected disabilities, health issues, unemployment, mental health struggles, and homelessness.
When you donate, we auction off your vehicle and send the proceeds to nonprofit organizations that support veterans in Battle Creek. These IRS-certified 501(c)(3) partners use the funding to provide essential programs and services to veterans and their families, including:
- Various forms of assistance to veterans confined in hospitals;
- Housing for homeless veterans;
- Employment programs for veterans and their spouses;
- Financial and other forms of aid to destitute, low-income, and homeless veterans;
- Therapeutic activities to help rehabilitate disabled veterans;
- Peer support to ailing veterans, their families, and caregivers;
- Nature-based psychotherapy, team building, and family dynamics development programs for veterans and their families; and
- Sponsorship of events that encourage companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community.
- Your generous contribution will help fund all these programs and services for deserving veterans residing in Battle Creek, Michigan.
