Veterans in Redlands, California, gave everything to protect your freedom. Now, many of them are struggling to find food, shelter, and basic care. You can change that without writing a single check. Veteran Car Donations takes your unwanted vehicle and turns it into real, meaningful support for the heroes who earned it. Free pickup is included, and you walk away with a tax deduction. Your old car sitting in the driveway can do something powerful starting today.
The government simply cannot reach every veteran who needs help. That gap is real, and it affects veterans and their families right here in Redlands.

How Would Veterans Benefit From My Car Donation?
When you take part in our car donation program, you help provide much-needed assistance to veterans in need.
After we receive your donated vehicle, we’ll sell it at auction and use the proceeds to support trusted nonprofit partners. Those funds go directly toward programs that provide important services to veterans, including:
- Mental and physical healthcare
- Transitioning assistance for newly discharged troops
- Building mortgage-free, specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans
- Job training programs for veterans with no civilian job qualifications
- Grief counseling sessions for the spouses and families of those who were killed in action
- Educating veterans on the benefits they’re eligible to get and how to get them
What Perks Do Donors Receive?
We truly appreciate your generosity and the support you provide through your donation. As a thank-you, you’ll receive several benefits when you donate with us:
- Top tax deduction to substantially reduce your taxable income
- Free towing
- No paperwork
- Hassle-free and convenient donation process
- Stop wasting money on costly vehicle repairs and maintenance
- Stop paying for vehicle registration and auto insurance
How Does the Donation Process Go?
At Veteran Car Donations, we keep your convenience in mind. That’s why our three-step process is quick and easy to complete. Here’s how you can get started and support veterans in your community:
1. Fill out our online donation form or call 877-594-5822.
Once you share a few basic details about your vehicle (year, make, model, and mileage) along with your contact information, we’ll confirm eligibility. If your car qualifies, we’ll move to the next step: pickup.
2. Let us pick your vehicle up for free.
Just tell us when and where you’d like us to pick up your vehicle, and we’ll take care of it at no cost to you. We’ll also provide a donation receipt, which you can use to cancel your registration and stop paying for insurance coverage.
3. Receive your tax-deductible receipt in the mail.
Because we work closely with 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, your donation may qualify you for a top tax deduction. After your vehicle is sold at auction, we’ll mail you a tax-deductible receipt within a few days. You can then use it when you itemize deductions on your federal tax return.

What Types of Vehicles Can I Donate?
Veteran Car Donations accepts many types of vehicles. But not every vehicle will qualify. The best way to check your car’s eligibility is to call us or fill out the above donation form.
Here are some of the vehicle types we’ve accepted in the past:
- Sedans, SUVs, vans, motorcycles
- Fleet cars, buses, trucks
- Boats, sailboats, motorboats, other watercraft, including jet skis
- Special vehicles like snowmobiles, golf carts, riding lawn mowers, and farm equipment
- ATVs, RVs, trailers, campers
- Non-commercial, airplanes
Sometimes we take vehicles that aren’t running, depending on the situation. You’ll need a valid title or proof of ownership so the automobile can be sold at auction. If you’ve misplaced your title, just let us know, and we’ll help you get a replacement as quickly as possible.
You can donate more than one vehicle if you’d like. Every donation helps provide even more support to veterans in need.
Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help My Community?
Donating is a great way to make a difference, but there are other ways to make a real impact. One of the best things you can do is reach out to local organizations that work directly with veterans.
The San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs office can point you toward programs and services that support veterans and their families. They often know about volunteer opportunities in the area.
You can also contact the Loma Linda VA Clinic on Redlands Boulevard, where staff work closely with veterans every day and may be able to connect you with meaningful ways to help.
