Every fall, thousands of homeowners look at the extra car in the driveway and make the same promise: "I'll deal with it in spring." Then winter does what winter does — dead batteries, frozen brakes, cracked blocks — and spring arrives with a car worth less than it was.
Why Fall Is the Smart Time to Donate
- Beat the year-end tax deadline: Donations completed by December 31 count for this tax year.
- Avoid winter damage: A vehicle's value drops fastest when it sits through freezing months.
- Reclaim your driveway: Plowing and shoveling around a dead car all winter gets old fast.
- Easier towing: Pickup is far simpler before ice and snow complicate access.
Fast, Even When the Car Is Not
The vehicle does not need to run. It does not need plates or a current inspection. Call (888) 579-5544, describe the vehicle and where it sits, and we schedule a free tow — typically within 24 to 72 hours.
Where It Goes
Your donated vehicle helps fund programs providing veterans with food, housing assistance, transportation, and family support. The car that could not survive another winter can help a veteran get through theirs.
