The proceeds from qualifying vehicle donations help fund programs that provide important services for those who have served our country. Every donation helps extend valuable resources to veterans from every branch of military service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use these FAQs to answer any questions you may have about the process:
How Is My Vehicle Picked Up?
Once your donation has been approved, we’ll arrange free pickup at a date and time that fits your schedule. A professional towing company will collect your vehicle from its location, so you do not have to worry about driving it or arranging transportation yourself.
How Is My Tax Deduction Determined?
Depending on your tax situation, your donation may qualify for a tax deduction. In most cases, the deductible amount is based on the vehicle’s sale price or its fair market value when permitted under IRS guidelines. We’ll provide the documentation you need after your vehicle has been sold.
Can I Donate Without a Vehicle Title?
Yes, in many cases you still may be able to donate your vehicle even if you cannot find the title. Requirements vary depending on state rules and your situation, so contact us first. Our team will explain the available options and help you determine the next steps.
What Should You Do Before We Pick Up Your Vehicle?
Preparing for pickup is easy, and there is very little you need to do. Take a few moments to remove your personal belongings and check places like the glove compartment, center console, trunk and storage areas. If you have your vehicle title or other paperwork, keep it ready for pickup. Do not worry if you are missing a document because we may still be able to help. You also often do not need to be there when the vehicle is collected. After pickup is complete, the vehicle is no longer your responsibility.
How Can You Continue Helping Veterans in Peoria?
A vehicle donation can make a meaningful difference, but your time and compassion can also help improve the lives of veterans in your community. Many veterans need support beyond financial assistance, and local organizations often welcome volunteers who are willing to lend a hand, provide encouragement or assist with community programs.
A great place to begin is the Peoria County Veterans Assistance Commission, which helps veterans access emergency financial assistance, transportation, benefits guidance and other local services. You can also contact the Peoria County Veterans Assistance Commission Assistance Program, which works with veterans and military families who need help with housing, food, utilities and transportation.
Another valuable resource is the Harold A. Fritz Veterans Assistance Commission of Peoria County, which connects veterans and their dependents with local services and may be able to point you toward volunteer opportunities that support veterans facing financial or housing challenges.
