Helping Our Heroes Starts at Home in Loma Linda
You don’t have to look far to find the spirit of service in Loma Linda. This is a city known for its world-class medical community, but it’s also home to countless veterans who’ve served our country and now call this area home. Just a few minutes from the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System and the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital, our mission feels especially personal here.
Donating your car in Loma Linda through Veteran Car Donations isn’t just generous – it’s impactful. The proceeds go directly to veteran-focused programs across San Bernardino County, giving our heroes access to housing support, PTSD treatment, and job assistance. Whether you’re parked near Hulda Crooks Park or live in a quiet cul-de-sac off Lawton Avenue, your vehicle can do more than collect dust – it can change a life.

Why Locals Choose to Donate in Loma Linda
Veterans are a visible, valued part of life in Loma Linda. Whether it’s families stationed nearby or retired servicemembers receiving care at the VA hospital, the community has always rallied behind them.
Here’s why donating makes sense:
- We tow everywhere, from small apartment lots near University Avenue to rural roads off Mountain View Avenue.
- You’ll get tax benefits. Once your car sells, we send you everything you need to claim your deduction.
- Funds stay in the region. Your donation helps veterans in the Inland Empire, not far-off cities.
- You free up space. That extra car in your driveway? It could become a lifeline for a veteran starting over.
- We keep junk out of landfills. Even non-working vehicles get recycled, reused, or sold to maximize their value.
Your donation doesn’t just clear your space – it carries veterans forward.
Local Areas We Serve in Loma Linda
