Let’s make a difference for our veterans in California with a simple act of kindness. Since 2015, Veteran Car Donations has been helping communities across the country – and now, it’s your chance to help right here at home. By donating your RV, you can support former service members who are struggling after military life. Here you’ll see how RV donations help veterans in need, how the process works and what benefits you’ll enjoy along the way. It’s easier than you think and it can truly change lives.
Many veterans face hardship after dismissal. Retirement is one of the toughest challenges soldiers face, bringing many hardships as they transition to civilian life.
Many veterans carry physical and mental trauma from their deployment experiences, which deeply impact their quality of life.
Consequences of Veterans’ Physical, Mental Trauma
Physical injuries are a common challenge for our veterans, causing lasting effects that affect their daily lives long after service.
Many veterans struggle with disabilities and face tough competition in the job market, putting them at risk of unemployment, poverty and homelessness.
Physical pain often leads veterans to depend on painkillers, which can result in drug addiction and sometimes legal troubles.
Mental health struggles like anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts affect many veterans returning from service.
Many veterans turn to harmful coping methods such as violence or alcohol to manage their mental health challenges.

Do I have to remove all personal items from the RV?
Yes, you should remove all personal belongings from your RV before the pickup. Donation programs aren’t responsible for items left behind, so be sure to check storage compartments, cabinets and hidden areas to ensure everything you want to keep is removed.
Does the RV need to be cleaned or repaired first?
No cleaning or repairs are necessary before donating your RV. Charities typically accept RVs in any condition, including those with cosmetic or mechanical issues. A cleaner RV might have higher resale value, but it’s completely optional and not required for donation.
Can I donate an RV that doesn’t run or move?
Yes, non-running or immobile RVs can usually be donated. As long as the RV can be safely accessed and towed, most charities will accept it. Be sure to disclose its condition upfront so proper towing arrangements can be made at no cost to you.
