Got a motorcycle that’s just taking up space? Donating it is a fast, easy way to turn your old ride into real support for veterans across California. Instead of letting it sit unused or stressing over repairs, you can give it a new purpose: fueling programs that provide housing, mental health care, and transitional support for those who served. Along the way, you’ll enjoy free towing, potential tax benefits, and the satisfaction of making a meaningful difference. Read on to learn how your California motorcycle donation can help change lives while simplifying yours.
California motorcycle donations are a smart choice for anyone ready to let go of a preloved bike. Keeping an unwanted motorcycle can be stressful and expensive. Instead of selling it or hauling it to the junkyard, you can put it to much better use by donating it to charities that support veterans across California — from San Francisco to Los Angeles and beyond.
California is the most densely populated state in the U.S., with millions of residents. Among them are many former military servicemen and servicewomen. Many veterans face tough times after service. Housing insecurity, unemployment, mental health problems, lack of skills that translate to civilian life, service-connected disabilities. These are the battles that most of them face when they get back home. You can help us fill the gaps where government services aren’t easily accessible or don’t equate to full support.
Can You Help in Our Mission to Serve the Veterans Who Served Us?
At Veteran Car Donations, we team up with certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners to help fill the service gaps the U.S. government can’t cover alone. Your vehicle donations help fund and grow vital programs that tackle the biggest challenges veterans face today. These programs offer our veterans the following services:
- Medical care
- Permanent, mortgage-free housing
- Specially-adapted homes for the severely injured
- Grief counseling for the families that fallen heroes left behind
- General transitioning assistance for the recently deployed
- Educational assistance for those who want to earn a college degree
- Career workshops to increase chances of employment
- Veteran benefits orientation
Motorcycles not only provide transportation, but can be extremely exhilarating, however, having to retire one can be a huge stress. Don’t put yourself through this headache; donate your Harley Davidson, Indian, Honda custom chopper, or any other motorcycle to Veteran Car Donations.
