What Challenges Do Veterans Face After Service?

Many veterans face additional challenges such as military sexual trauma and substance abuse.

A large share of female veterans report experiencing military sexual trauma after their service. This can affect their emotional wellbeing and daily life. Some veterans struggle with anxiety and ongoing distress, which can lead them to unhealthy coping behaviors.

Among veterans dealing with these challenges, alcohol is by far the most commonly abused substance, followed by harder drugs like heroin and cocaine. These struggles can affect their health, relationships and ability to find stable employment.

Your Athens, Georgia car donations help provide access to medical care and support services that address these issues. Our nonprofit partners offer counseling programs for veterans and their families to help them recover from trauma and rebuild their lives.

Veterans make up a significant portion of the country’s homeless population. Hundreds of thousands of veterans are at risk of homelessness due to poverty, lack of employment and limited access to support. Many severely injured veterans also struggle to maintain stable housing and employment.

With your Athens, Georgia car donations and the help of our nonprofit partners, we can support programs that build specially adapted housing for disabled veterans. We can also expand job training programs and education support so veterans can find stable work and support their families.

What Benefits Can You Receive from Veteran Car Donations?

Your Athens, Georgia car donations help transform the lives of veterans while also providing meaningful benefits for you as a donor.

How Does the Fast and Easy Car Donation Process Work?

Our Athens, Georgia car donations process is designed to be quick and simple for you. It only takes three steps to complete your donation, starting when you call us at 877-594-5822 or fill out our online donation form.

Our experienced donor specialists will ask for a few important details about your vehicles, including:

  • Your preferred time and date for pickup
  • Your vehicle’s location for pickup and towing

After verifying your information, we arrange for a professional towing company in your area to pick up your automobile. You do not pay for towing.

The tow company will pick up your vehicle at the scheduled time or shortly after your call. You will receive a donation receipt that releases you from liability. At that point, you can de-register your vehicle, remove your license plates according to state requirements and cancel your insurance coverage, helping you save money.

Later, after we sell your vehicle, we will send you by mail your 100 percent tax deductible sales receipt, showing the final sale price. You can use this document when you file your itemized income tax return.
