Honor West Point’s Heroes – Turn Your Car into Support

Your Vehicle Can Help Our Local Veterans Reclaim Their Lives

When your old car’s ready to ride off into the sunset, why not let it blaze a trail of hope instead? In West Point, where history and honor walk hand in hand, your vehicle can become a powerful tool for change.

From the soaring Cadet Chapel and its 23,500-pipe organ to the powerful stories inside the West Point Museum, this community lives and breathes service. You can almost feel Patton and Eisenhower’s footsteps at Trophy Point as the Hudson curves below like a salute.

Yet, beyond the ceremonies and pride, many local veterans face tough days – unstable housing, gaps in healthcare, and the frustrating search for meaningful work after service.

Veteran Car Donations makes helping simple. When you donate a vehicle you no longer need, you help fuel programs for West Point veterans, including transitional housing, job training, and mental health support. Your one generous act honors their sacrifice and helps build a brighter tomorrow.

4. How does donating my vehicle make a difference for veterans?

After your vehicle is sold, the funds go toward veteran-focused initiatives in West Point:

• Housing for veterans re-entering civilian life
• Employment training and career support
• PTSD and mental health counseling through local nonprofits
• Medical care access, including VA clinic coordination
• Emergency assistance with food, bills, and transportation

Most importantly, rather than going into a distant fund, your vehicle’s value creates real, local impact – helping veterans who live in our neighborhoods, shop at our stores, and send their kids to our schools.

5. How much can I deduct, and what paperwork do I need?

Most of the time, your deduction equals the vehicle’s final sale price, though there are some rules to keep in mind. If your car sells for under $500, your deduction is limited to its fair market value on the date of donation, capped at $500. If it sells for more than $500, your deduction is the gross proceeds from the sale.

For deductions between $501 and $5,000, complete Section A of IRS Form 8283. For deductions above $5,000, complete Section B as well (in addition to Section A). We’ll send you the documents needed to file your deduction.

We’ve got you covered. Our in-house title department can handle most issues, including missing documents or multiple owners, without requiring a visit to the New York State DMV Office in Newburgh at 375 Broadway, Newburgh. We’ll guide you step by step and manage the paperwork on your behalf.
