Have you ever thought about getting rid of that junky old car that’s been clogging up your driveway? If you decide to take part in Veteran Car Donations’ Tacoma, Washington auto donations for veterans, you’ll be setting yourself up for a classic win-win solution! Your vehicle donation will enable you not only to make a powerful contribution that can transform the lives of our needy veterans, but you’ll also experience the easiest and most convenient way of permanently getting your hands off that beater!

We can only wish that these veterans experienced a smooth transition when they separated from military service and reintegrated themselves into the civilian sector. Sadly, however, this isn’t the case for many of them. These are our former troops who are suffering from poverty, many with no jobs and some with no homes of their own. You can often see homeless veterans languishing in our streets.

What Tacoma, Washington Car Donations Can Do to Our Veterans

Although the government has been doing its part to provide assistance to our veterans, an undeniable gap of service still needs to be filled. For this reason, Veteran Car Donations has tied up with reputable IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations to address the problems confronting our former troops. By auctioning off vehicles donated to us, we are able to raise funds for our charity partners’ programs and services that are designed to restore the dignity and enhance the quality of life of our nation’s heroes as well as their families.

In case you’re wondering what impact you’ll make once you join our Tacoma, Washington car donation program, take a look at the benefits that you will help provide our needy veterans:

• Mortgage-free homes for homeless veterans and specially adapted mortgage-free homes for those who sustained severe combat-related injuries;
• Educational scholarships and tutoring support for vets who want to pursue their education or earn a college degree;
• General transitioning and basic needs assistance for discharged troops and their families;
• Job training and job placement for vets who need to find stable and rewarding jobs;
• Orientation programs that enable veterans to know the full range of government benefits available to them;
• Free and accessible mental health care for vets who need treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other mental disorders;
• Grief counseling for the bereaved families of fallen heroes.

We make it easy for you to demonstrate your support and gratitude for those who risked their lives to fight for our country and all that it stands for.

Learn More About Tacoma

As one of the largest cities in the Pacific Northwest and the home of Camp Murray Army Base, Tacoma has a significant veteran population. According to the most recent data, more than 18,000 residents have served in the armed forces at one time or another. The largest percentage of them served during the Second Gulf War, making up roughly one-third of the city’s veterans. These are followed closely behind by those who served during the Vietnam War period and veterans of the First Gulf War. 

In terms of demographics, those aged 55 and older make up the largest percentage of Tacoma’s veterans, with more than 10,500 falling into this category. Unfortunately, the need for services that help veterans in need in Tacoma is great, with more than 27% of the city’s veterans suffering some form of disability and more than 8% living in poverty. Complicating matters further is the fact that nearly 30% of veterans in the city don’t have a high school diploma, making it all the more difficult for them to find meaningful employment.
