Why Does Your Car Matter to Baltimore Veterans?
Baltimore has a long tradition of supporting those who served. Throughout the city, there are reminders of the sacrifices veterans have made and the contributions they continue to make in their communities. Donating a vehicle is one way you can help continue that tradition while providing meaningful support.
Here’s why it’s good to donate an unused vehicle to Baltimore:
- We come to you. There are no towing costs. Wherever you are in the Baltimore area, we’ll pick up your vehicle at no charge.
- Your gift earns you a tax break. Once your vehicle is sold, you’ll receive a receipt to help lower your taxable income when you file.
- You’ll directly support veterans in our community. Proceeds fund housing, mental health care and job training for local vets, not distant national programs.
- You reclaim valuable space. That old car, truck or RV taking up room? We’ll take it off your hands and put it to better use.
- You help protect the environment. Donating an unused vehicle keeps it out of landfills and puts its materials or parts to good use.
Your vehicle may no longer be part of your daily routine, but it can still play an important role in helping veterans access the support and services they deserve.
