Since 2015, Veteran Car Donations has been helping veterans in need across Houston, Texas, and nearby communities. Along with supporting veterans and their families, we also provide meaningful benefits for donors. When you donate your car to charity, you support our trusted local nonprofit partners and may qualify for a valuable tax deduction.
Currently, a significant portion of veterans in Houston live below the poverty line. The need is urgent and your action can help. Donating a vehicle to our car donation program lets individuals like you step in where government support may fall short and provide life-changing help.
When you donate your car for veterans in Houston, TX, you’ll receive:
- A potential tax deduction to lower your tax bill
- No cost or hassle of selling
- No privacy or security concerns from listing your vehicle
- Freedom from paying registration and insurance
- No more spending on repairs
Your donation also helps fund nonprofits that meet urgent and ongoing needs of veterans and active-duty service members, as well as their families.
We work with Harris County organizations that deliver direct services such as:
- Job and social reintegration
- Mortgage-free homes for severely wounded post-9/11 veterans
- Advocacy for veterans’ rights and full benefits
- Scholarships and tutoring for veteran education
- Job training and career mentoring
- Public education on veterans’ issues
- And other important support programs
How Does the Auto Donation Program Work?
Donating your car or truck is fast and easy with our Houston car donation program. Your vehicle doesn’t even need to be running. We can usually schedule pick-up or towing within 1 to 2 days.
You’ll get a call from our team or the towing company to set a pickup time that works for you. Towing is completely free.
We handle the paperwork, sell your vehicle, and send you a tax-deductible receipt within 30 days of the sale. We’ll need the title, but if you’re missing it, contact us and we’ll help resolve it. You can donate just about any vehicle with a motor, including cars, pickup trucks, sedans, SUVs, crossovers, boats, golf carts, riding lawn mowers and even airplanes.
Can I Donate a Motorcycle or More Than One Vehicle?

Yes! We gladly accept motorcycles, as well as nearly any type of motorized vehicle. If you have more than one vehicle to donate, we welcome multiple donations. Each vehicle will be processed individually, and you’ll receive a separate tax-deductible receipt for each one after they are sold.
What Happens to My Vehicle After I Donate It?
Once you donate your vehicle, we arrange for free pickup and transport it to an auction or sale facility. The proceeds from the sale go directly to support our trusted nonprofit partners, who use the funding to provide vital services for veterans, such as housing, job training, mental health support and more. Your donation helps power programs that make a real difference in the lives of those who served.
Do I Need to Be Home During Pickup?
Not necessarily. If you can’t be present, we can arrange for an unattended pickup as long as the towing team has access to the vehicle and any required documents. We’ll work with you to ensure everything is taken care of smoothly.
Can You Pick Up My Vehicle from Another Location?
Absolutely. We can pick up your vehicle from almost any location in the country. Just let us know the address and any special instructions when you schedule your donation, and we’ll handle the rest.
Are There Other Ways for Me to Help Veterans in Houston?
Yes! Houston is home to outstanding organizations supporting veteran health and well-being. These are great places to donate or volunteer. Consider connecting with the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, the Humble VA Outpatient Clinic or the Katy VA Clinic. You can also honor fallen heroes at Veterans Memorial Park on Tidwell Road.
