Help Veterans Find Shelter from the Storm

Have you given up on that clunker that you’ve been trying to repair for several months now? Do you feel frustrated that you’ve spent hundreds of dollars on parts and repair bills and yet, it still won’t run the way you want?

Perhaps, it is about time you consider “retiring” your car and giving it a new and worthy purpose. Giving up on your vehicle may seem like a defeat for you. However, it can count as a success for an individual in need.

By donating your car to Veteran Car Donations through our Davenport, Iowa car donations program, you will be helping those veterans in your city who are suffering from poverty, homelessness, and other afflictions. By giving up on your old clunker, you will be giving hope to these heroes, empowering them to support themselves.

Veteran Homelessness by the Numbers

One of the major concerns for veterans is their inability to find decent shelter. Here is a glance at veteran homelessness in the country to give you an idea of how lack of shelter impacts the lives of our former servicemen and servicewomen.

  • Over 9 percent of adults experiencing homelessness in the United States are veterans.
  • Based on data gathered in January 2017, 40,056 veterans experienced homelessness on any given night.
  • Most homeless vets are men over the age of 50 and living in urban areas.
  • Veteran women are more than twice as likely as non-veteran women to experience homelessness.
  • More than one-third of veteran women who experience homelessness have experienced military sexual trauma.
  • Among the risk factors for vets who experience homelessness are poverty, unemployment and economic hardships, trauma, mental health, substance use disorders, family or relationship conflicts, disruptions in connections to social support networks, social isolation, and incarceration.

Empowering Veterans

We and our charity partners believe that veterans are more than capable of living a dignified life as civilians if they are given the right opportunities and support. That is why the programs initiated by our IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit partners are targeted toward addressing the key issues being experienced by our veterans.

When you turn over a vehicle to Veteran Car Donations, we will auction it off and use the proceeds to support the life-changing programs for veterans of our IRS-approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners.

By participating in our Davenport, Iowa car donations program, you’ll be helping our charity partners to deliver the following services to deserving veterans:

  • Financial and other forms of aid to destitute, low-income, and homeless veterans;
  • Treatment of those suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health challenges;
  • Various forms of assistance to veterans confined in military hospitals;
  • Programs to help veterans and their spouses find meaningful employment that suits their abilities;
  • Therapeutic activities to help veterans rehabilitate and reintegrate themselves into society as well as relax and enjoy the company of their loved ones to strengthen family ties; and
  • Sponsorship of events that encourage companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community.
