Can I Help Veterans Beat Poverty?
This page explains how donating a vehicle in Perris can benefit you while also supporting veterans in your community. You’ll learn how Veteran Car Donations helps you get rid of a vehicle you no longer want without the usual stress, phone calls, or paperwork. You’ll also see how your donation supports veteran charities that provide housing assistance, job training, education support, and other services for veterans in need. This program is designed for people who want to turn an unused vehicle into something meaningful. Since 2015, Veteran Car Donations has helped communities by converting donated vehicles into real support for veterans and their families.
Dealing with a vehicle that no longer runs well can be frustrating. But here’s the good news: you can get rid of it without dealing with the hassle of selling or disposing of it yourself.
Just contact us at Veteran Car Donations and see if your vehicle qualifies for our Perris, California car donations program. There’s no easier way to get rid of an unwanted car.
Aside from the obvious convenience, you’ll also do good for the veteran community. The proceeds from your donation will be used to benefit struggling veterans in the area.
How Will My Donation Help Vets in Need?
After receiving your eligible vehicle, we’ll auction it off and send the proceeds to our veteran-focused nonprofit partners. Your gift will be used to deliver the following benefits to veterans in need:
- Housing assistance for those who are homeless;
- Educational scholarships and tutoring support for those who seek to pursue higher education;
- Job training and mentoring for veterans who need to find stable and rewarding employment;
- Financial and other forms of aid for destitute, low-income, and homeless veterans;
- Various forms of assistance for those confined in hospitals;
- Therapeutic activities to help rehabilitate disabled veterans;
- Nature-based psychotherapy, team building, and family dynamics development programs for veterans and their families; and
- Peer support for ailing veterans, their families, and caregivers.
In addition to these services, our charity partners sponsor events that encourage companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community.
What Do I Get When I Make a Donation?
Disadvantaged veterans and their families will certainly benefit from your generosity. But they aren’t the only ones. As a donor, you’ll also enjoy the following perks when you contribute to our Perris, California car donations program:

How Does the Donation Process Go?
At Veteran Car Donations, we prioritize our donors, giving them the best possible experience every time. We handle the details so you can focus on making a difference. Here’s how our Perris, California donations process works:
1. Reach out to us.
Start by calling 877-594-5822 or filling out the form above. We’ll request information about your car, including its year, make, model, mileage, title availability, and general working condition. We will use this information to determine whether your car qualifies.
2. Schedule your free vehicle pickup.
If your car is eligible for donation, we’ll schedule a vehicle pickup appointment for you. Our licensed towing partner will come to you and haul the car away. The driver will leave you with a towing receipt that releases you from all future liability on your donated vehicle.
3. Receive your tax-deductible receipt.
Once we receive your vehicle, we’ll auction it off. Within days of its sale, we’ll mail you a 100% tax-deductible sales receipt. You can use the document to claim a tax deduction on your next itemized federal tax return.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help Veterans in My Community?

Start by contacting veteran-focused centers in your area and asking about current volunteer opportunities. The VA Loma Linda Health Care System works directly with veterans every day, supporting health care, mental health services, housing referrals, and recovery programs. Because of this hands-on role, VA staff often know which programs need volunteers most. You can also reach out to the Riverside County Department of Veterans’ Services, which assists veterans with benefits, claims, housing support, and referrals to local programs. Their connections with community partners make them a strong resource for finding ways to help veterans in Riverside County.
