Help Westchester Vets Thrive – Donate Your Vehicle Today

With Your Car Gift, You Give Back to Our Local Heroes

If your old car is ready to retire, send it off on a final lap that truly matters. Here in Westchester County – where Revolutionary War footsteps meet today’s resilience – your vehicle can become a real help for the men and women who served.

From the quiet halls of the Westchester Veterans Museum in Katonah to “The Rising” at Kensico Dam Plaza, our county honors service with heart. Whether you’re wandering the roses at Lyndhurst or catching a show at the Westchester County Center, reminders of sacrifice are everywhere.

Still, behind the riverfront views and storied estates, many local veterans face significant hurdles – finding stable housing, accessing consistent healthcare, and re-entering the workforce.

Veteran Car Donations is here to turn that around. When you donate a vehicle you no longer need, you help fund programs that matter – job training, housing support, and mental health care for Westchester’s vets. One simple gift can turn an idle car into a fresh start for our local heroes.

5. What’s my tax deduction worth, and what paperwork should I expect?

Usually, your deduction matches the car’s sale price, but there are a few special cases. If it sells for less than $500, you can deduct the fair market value on the date of the donation, up to $500. If the car sells for more than $500, your deduction is capped at the gross amount received from the sale.

If your deduction is between $501 and $5,000, you’ll need to fill out Section A of Form 8283. If it’s over $5,000, you’ll also complete Section B of Form 8283. Don’t worry – we’ll send the paperwork you need.
