Show your gratitude to the brave men and women in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard who’ve protected our freedoms by donating your vehicle in Los Angeles. Your gift will directly impact the lives of struggling veterans by helping them access programs that lead to good jobs, steady income and financial independence.
When you make a Los Angeles vehicle donation, you’re not only helping veterans. You’re helping yourself too. Veteran Car Donations makes the process quick, simple and rewarding. Your contribution will support our nation’s heroes while offering you valuable benefits, including convenience, tax savings and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a real impact.
What Is the Issue of Poverty?
Did you know that between 12% and 13% of veterans in Los Angeles live below the poverty line, and over 30% suffer from disabilities?
While there are government programs designed to help veterans transition to civilian life, many simply can’t meet the growing demand. Each year, more service members come home, and the available resources can’t keep up. With so many national issues competing for funding, many veterans are left waiting months (or even years) for the help they deserve.
Ideally, every veteran would live comfortably with the benefits they’ve earned. In reality, many face long delays or never receive those benefits at all. Veterans with physical injuries or mental health challenges struggle even more, with some ending up homeless and living on the streets.
This is where we step in. Veteran Car Donations works to close that gap by partnering with trusted nonprofits. The funds from your vehicle donation in Los Angeles help provide housing, healthcare, job training and other essential support that the government can’t always deliver.
How Do Car Donations Help Address Poverty?
At Veteran Car Donations, we work to ensure struggling veterans receive the services they need to rebuild their lives. When you donate, you help fund programs that provide:
- Educational scholarships – Helping veterans return to school or finish a degree.
- Mortgage-free and specially adapted homes – Giving wounded veterans safe, accessible housing.
- Job training – Teaching valuable skills for meaningful employment.
- Healthcare – Connecting veterans to free or affordable medical care.
- Public education – Raising awareness about veterans’ challenges.
- Grief counseling – Supporting families who’ve lost loved ones in service.
Your car donation makes you part of a network of support for veterans in Los Angeles. Every vehicle, no matter its condition, helps fund these life-changing services.
How Does the Car Donation Process Work?
Donating a car is fast and hassle-free. Our three-step process turns your unwanted vehicle into meaningful help for veterans.
Step 1: Fill out our online form or call 877-594-5822.
Provide basic details about your vehicle, including its make, model, year, mileage, VIN and location. We accept most vehicle types, including cars, trucks, SUVs and more.
Step 2: Schedule your free pickup.
Once we have your info, we’ll arrange a towing time that works best for you at no cost. On pickup day, we’ll hand you a tow receipt releasing you from all liability, allowing you to cancel your registration and insurance.
Step 3: Receive your tax-deduction receipt.
After your vehicle sells at auction, you’ll receive a receipt showing its final sale price. Use it to claim your tax deduction when you file your federal return.
If you have questions, call our 24/7 hotline at 877-594-5822, visit our FAQs or message us online. We’re here to help every step of the way.
What Documents Are Required When Donating a Vehicle?
To donate your car, you’ll need its title. Other paperwork may vary by state, so check with your local DMV for details. Donating a car is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to part with an old vehicle.
What If You Don’t Have the Car’s Title?
Some charities can’t accept donations without a title, but others – including ours – can help. Veteran Car Donations can assist you in obtaining a replacement title, ensuring your donation process stays simple and stress-free. If a car can’t be titled, its parts may still be salvaged and sold to support veterans’ programs.
How to Get a Replacement Title for Your Car
You can apply for a duplicate title through your local DMV in Los Angeles County or online. Once you provide identification, the vehicle’s details and a small fee, you’ll receive a replacement title. Veteran Car Donations can also guide you through this process to make your donation as smooth as possible.
