Here you’ll learn how to turn an unwanted vehicle into meaningful support for veterans in El Paso without the hassle of selling it yourself. Since 2015, the team at Veteran Car Donations has uplifted communities through our simple, quick, and easy donation process. Read on to see how your vehicle can help fund programs that support veterans as they look for steady work, adjust to life after service, or manage injuries and mental health needs. You’ll also learn what to expect during the donation process, what happens after pickup, and how eligible donations support veterans through trusted nonprofit partners.
Why Do Veterans Struggle After Military Service?
After returning home from deployment and retiring from military service, veterans face new and often tougher challenges. Many of them struggle to find steady employment and provide for themselves and their families.
They often face as many obstacles at home as they did while serving overseas. Although they’re no longer in combat, adjusting to civilian life can be difficult due to:
- Limited preparation for life after service
- Fewer job opportunities
- Physical injuries, disabilities, and mental health conditions
- Lack of support from the government, their community, or their family
That’s why Veteran Car Donations offers a car donation program in El Paso. This program gives you and others in the community a simple way to support local veterans in need. When you donate a qualifying vehicle to veterans, you help nonprofits provide hope and support to these heroes.
After you donate to our El Paso, Texas car donation program, Veteran Car Donations will auction your vehicle for sale. We then send the proceeds from your donation to nonprofit partners that provide education scholarships, tutoring, job training, transition support, mentoring, and grief counseling for veterans and their families.
We serve the entire area, including nearby Castner Heights, Cielo Vista, Mesa Hills, Mountain View, Park Foothills, Silver Springs Village, and Via Hermosa.
How Can I Donate a Car in El Paso, Texas?
Our El Paso, Texas car donations process is fast and simple. When you’re ready to donate a car for charity, you can call 877-594-5822 or complete our online donation form. We’ll request some basic information and determine whether we can take your vehicle. If the vehicle is eligible for donation, we’ll call and help you schedule your free pickup – you choose the date, time, and location.
On pickup day, a licensed towing company will haul your vehicle away for free. You’ll receive a donation receipt, which you can use to cancel your car’s registration and insurance policy.
After receiving your vehicle donation, we’ll put it up for auction. We work to secure the highest possible sale price for your vehicle. Once the sale is complete, we quickly transfer the proceeds to our nonprofit organization partners that support and provide various services to our veterans.
Within a few days, we mail you a tax-deductible sales receipt, which you can use to claim your deduction based on the vehicle’s sale price.

Veteran Car Donations accepts many types of vehicles (new, old, low mileage, high mileage, damaged, etc.), but not all of them will qualify. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle is eligible, call us, and we’ll tell you right away.
When you donate an eligible unwanted vehicle to our El Paso, Texas car donation program, we pick it up for free, even if it is not running. We consider cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, campers, minivans, boats, riding lawn mowers, SUVs, and personal watercraft.
Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help Veterans in My Community?
If you want to support veterans beyond donating a vehicle, volunteering can make a meaningful impact. Start by contacting veteran-focused organizations in the El Paso area and asking about current volunteer opportunities:
- The VA El Paso Health Care System’s Voluntary Service program. Staff can match you with volunteer roles within the VA and share information about other trusted community organizations.
- The El Paso Vet Center. This organization stays closely connected to local veteran networks and community programs and can steer you towards them.
- The El Paso County Veterans Assistance Office. Representatives may know where volunteer support is most needed across the community.
