Jacksonville: The Gateway to Florida

Jacksonville is situated in Northeast Florida, a natural paradise for visitors looking for an affordable yet luxurious destination. It’s the place to go to if you’re looking to discover the undiscovered, reconnect with family, spark romance, or be inspired by the city’s vivid sunrises or cultural offerings.

Nicknamed the “River City by the Sea,” Jacksonville boasts of over 20 miles of beaches, the nearly 40 mile-long serene Intracoastal Waterway canal, and the beautiful St. Johns River.

On land, Jacksonville is home to the biggest urban park system in the country, with 10 state and national parks. Its authentic cuisine, craft-beer scene and fun and cosmopolitan nightlife make Jacksonville a unique destination.

Homeless and Unemployed Veterans in Jacksonville, FL

As of 2016, there were 821,784 people living in Jacksonville, Florida. Of this number, 78,417 were veterans. Although veterans make up only 8 percent of the state’s population, they alarmingly accounted for more than 25 percent of its suicide rates.

Between 1999 and 2011, there were 31,885 suicides documented in the state. That would mean more than 8,000 Florida veterans taking their own lives during those 13 years. These staggering figures have placed Florida among states with the highest number of veteran suicides.

Your contribution to our Jacksonville, Florida boat donations program could help curb the veteran suicide rate in the state as it will be used to deliver essential services to needy veterans to help improve their living conditions.

How to Donate a Boat in Jacksonville, Florida

Our Jacksonville, Florida boat donations process is quick and easy to enable our donors to save time and effort. There are only three easy steps to get your boat towed at zero cost to you:

Step 1:

Fill out our online 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 your boat’s information such as its type and model, your preferred time and date for pickup, and where your boat is located.

Step 2: 

After verifying the information you provided, we will make arrangements with a professional towing company in your area to pick up your boat. We will be the one to pay the towing fee. The company will then pick up your boat based on your specified schedule. You will be given a tow receipt showing that your boat was picked up for donation. This releases you from all liability on the boat you just donated from that point forward. You can now de-register your boat and cancel its insurance coverage.

Step 3:

We sell your boat at auction. Within 30 days after the sale of your boat, we will mail you your 100 percent tax-deductible sales receipt, indicating your donated boat’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.

We also accept other types of vehicles including cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, and vans. Donors may also donate jet skis, golf carts, riding lawn mowers, and many other vehicles.
