You Give Back to Our City’s Heroes with Your Vehicle Gift
If your old car is ready to retire, let it take one last ride that truly matters. In Westminster, where mountain backdrops meet strong military roots, your vehicle can become a real help to those who have served.
Walk the peaceful paths of the Armed Forces Tribute Garden, where engraved pavers and bronze figures honor every branch of the military. Nearby, the City Hall Bell Tower rises high, a local nod to London’s Big Ben and a reminder of community and legacy.
Still, beyond the beauty of Standley Lake and the fun at Westminster Center Park, many veterans face tough hurdles: unstable housing, limited access to care, and the steep climb back into steady work.
That’s where Veteran Car Donations comes in. When you donate a vehicle you no longer need, you help power programs that support Westminster’s veterans – such as transitional housing, job training, and mental health support. One simple gift can turn your old ride into a fresh start for a local hero.
