How Do Car Donations Help Veterans, and How Does the Process Work?
When you donate a car to support veterans in Wilmington, North Carolina, you give local organizations the funds to deliver extra services and assistance to our nation’s heroes. We take your donated vehicle and auction it to generate funding for Wilmington-area charities that serve veterans.
That vehicle you no longer want or need can be a powerful resource that propels local veterans forward. Here is how the process works:
- Call us or fill out a form online. Contact us to initiate your vehicle donation. We’ll gather a little info about your donation, and then we’ll set up a time to haul it away.
- We haul away your vehicle. A reputable towing partner will come to your location and tow away your vehicle at no charge.
- We mail you a tax receipt. A few days later, we mail you a tax receipt for your records. This document allows you to cancel the vehicle’s insurance and registration.
Which Vehicles Can I Donate?
Our team accepts many types of motor vehicles, even if they are no longer running. Here are a few we commonly receive from our donors:
- Cars
- Trucks
- Vans and minivans
- Motorcycles
- SUVs
- RVs
- Jet Skis
- Boats
No matter where you live in Wilmington (Edgewater, Forest Hills, Kirkland, Windemere, or anywhere in between), we’re ready to pick up your vehicle.

Can I Donate a Car that Doesn’t Run?
Yes, we accept nearly all cars, regardless of their condition. So, even if your car hasn’t been running for years, we’ll happily accept it. If you are still unsure, feel free to call us with any questions you may have.

What Documents Do I Need to Donate My Car?
In most cases, the only document we need is your vehicle’s title. But keep in mind that regulations vary by state.
Note: Even if you don’t have the title for your vehicle, we might still be able to help you. To get help, call our Title Department at 877-594-5822. We’ll sort out any paperwork issues with you.
Do I Have to Be Home When My Vehicle is Picked Up?
No, you don’t have to be present for your vehicle pickup. In fact, many of our donors choose not to be home during the appointment. It’s never a problem. Veteran Car Donations handles these kinds of pickups all the time.
