Here, you’ll discover how donating a vehicle can do far more than clear space in your driveway. It can change lives. Veteran Car Donations transforms unwanted cars, trucks, and other vehicles into crucial funding for programs that help veterans overcome life’s toughest battles. As you read on, you’ll learn how your donation directly supports housing, health care, and employment opportunities for struggling heroes in Yuma, AZ. You’ll also find out just how simple the process is, what benefits you’ll receive, and how your act of generosity can give our veterans the second chance they deserve.
You might think that when our nation’s troops return from war, they are greeted with warm embraces and promises of an easy life ahead.
Sadly, this is far from reality.
Many of our troops come home to little recognition or gratitude for their sacrifices. And that’s not even the worst part.
After being discharged, former servicemembers in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard are often left to fend for themselves. And the carefree life they dreamed of after their military days remains just that, a dream. They now deal with unemployment, lack of support, service-related physical disabilities, mental issues such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury, poverty, and homelessness. The pain, desperation, and misery can be so overwhelming that some resort to coping mechanisms like alcoholism and substance abuse. And those who can’t take it anymore resort to suicide.
The government is doing all it can to deliver benefits to as many veterans as possible. But with millions of veterans needing help and limited government resources, it’s difficult to reach everyone who needs support.
As a result, many veterans feel their sacrifices are forgotten. People may praise their bravery in words, but little is done to truly honor it. This leaves them feeling that courage brings no real reward.
How Do We Bring Hope Back to Our Veterans?
You can bring hope back to our veterans by donating your car to Veteran Car Donations through our Yuma, Arizona car donation program.

What Perks Will I Get for Donating My Car?
Donating your car to a veteran charity is more rewarding than you might think. When you donate through our Yuma, Arizona car donations program, you’ll enjoy some amazing perks:
- A quick and easy car donation process
- 100% free pick-up and towing

How Does The Car Donation Process Work?
Our Yuma, Arizona car donations process is quick and easy, saving you time and effort. There are only three simple steps to get your car towed for free:
Step 1: Visit our website and fill out our online vehicle donation form. If you want to speak with someone directly, call 877-594-5822 to let us know you’d like to donate a car to support our veterans. A friendly donation specialist will quickly collect some information from you. They’ll request your vehicle’s make and model, your preferred pickup date and time, and the location where the vehicle will be picked up.
Step 2: After verifying your information, we’ll schedule a pickup with a professional tow company at no cost to you! The tow truck will arrive at the time and place you requested, and the driver will hand you a tow receipt showing that your vehicle was picked up. This releases you from all liability for the vehicle. You can then de-register your vehicle, dispose of your license plates, and cancel your insurance coverage. That receipt also allows you to take the minimum tax deduction without any additional paperwork.
Step 3: We sell your car at auction. Within 30 days of the sale, we’ll mail you your 100 percent tax-deductible sales receipt with your vehicle’s final selling price. You’ll use this document to claim your deduction when filing your itemized federal income tax return.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help Veterans in My Community?
If you want to do even more for local veterans, consider volunteering at one of Yuma’s veteran-focused centers. The Veterans Yuma Center, located about 3 miles from downtown, often welcomes volunteers to assist with community outreach and support programs.
You can also contact the Yuma VA Clinic, roughly 3-5 miles from downtown, to ask about how you can help deliver veteran care and services.
While you’re in the area, take a moment to visit the Yuma Veterans Memorial at 282 N. 4th Avenue, a meaningful place to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes.
