Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Car Donations: Save the Struggling Heroes in Your City!

Our veterans — our heroes — are in need of saving. They are our once active-duty soldiers who fought our enemies in some foreign shores to protect our freedoms and our nation’s security. They risked their lives, endured so much hardship, and made sacrifices to serve our nation and to save us from danger.

When they finally returned home and were honorably discharged from the service after the successful completion of their mission, they thought their dark days were over.

To their utter dismay, many of them found out that the “hero” tag they got was only lip service and that more daunting challenges await them back home. Unable to find good jobs because of lack of civilian work experience and insufficient education, unable to receive government benefits due them for one reason or another, bereft of support from their community and even their own family, suffering from service-related physical injuries and mental disorder, these veterans now find themselves in big trouble.

The combination of all these problems has led many to the path of destitution, homelessness, and hopelessness.

The fact that many veterans have this concoction of problems is truly heartbreaking and alarming. Some of these veterans are living with us in this great city. They badly need help.

How You Can Help Our Heroes

That is why we have set up our Oklahoma City, Oklahoma car donations program. This serves as a platform for residents of this city to join us at Veteran Car Donations in our mission to save our heroes from a life of misery. By donating your old, unwanted cars or any other vehicles to us, you will be extending a helping hand to the struggling veterans of your city so that they could lift themselves up from poverty.

Specifically, by taking part in our Oklahoma City, Oklahoma vehicle donations program, you will enable us to financially support our trusted nonprofit organization partners so that they could continue providing these services to our veterans:

• Mental and physical healthcare
• Transitioning assistance for newly discharged servicemen and women
• Building mortgage-free, specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans
• Job training programs for veterans with no civilian job qualifications
• Grief counseling sessions to the spouses and families of those who were killed in action
• Educating veterans on the benefits they’re eligible to get from the government and other sectors and how to get them

Our Quick and Easy Car Donation Process

Another remarkable aspect of our Oklahoma City, Oklahoma car donations program is its quick and easy process. There are only three easy steps needed to get your car towed at zero cost to you:

Step 1: Visit our website and fill out our online vehicle donation form. You may also contact us at 877-594-5822. One of our friendly donation specialists will assist you through the process. We will ask for a few details about your vehicle such as its make and model. We will also ask you your preferred time and date for the pickup, and your vehicle’s pickup location.

Step 2:  After verifying the information you provided, we will make arrangements with a professional tow company to pick up your car. We will pay the towing fee. The tow company will then pick up your vehicle on the date, time, and place you specified. You will receive a donation receipt that will release you from all liabilities from that point onward. You can now de-register your vehicle, dispose of your license plates properly, and cancel your insurance coverage.

Step 3: We sell your car at auction. Within 30 days after the sale of your car, we will mail you your 100 percent tax-deductible sales receipt, indicating your vehicle donation’s final selling price. This will serve as the basis of your tax deduction claim when you file your itemized federal tax return for the next tax-filing season.
