In case you’re not aware, when some members of our nation’s armed forces are discharged or retire from the service, not every one of them gets to experience a smooth transition to civilian life. For instance, veterans who developed mental disorders or suffered disabilities while on combat assignment overseas may find it impossible to find or maintain civilian jobs. Others who have been unemployed for a long period of time face poverty and homelessness. Because of their miserable condition, some of these veterans resort to alcoholism, substance abuse, and – worst – suicide.
You have the capability and the tool to turn around the lives of these veterans, who are considered our nation’s heroes for their invaluable service to the country. Using just your old and unwanted car, you can help restore the dignity of these men and women and give them and their families a bright future. All you have to do is take part in our Vancouver, Washington car donations program.
How Your Gift Can Transform the Lives of Needy Veterans
Veteran Car Donations is an online vehicle donation platform of reputable military and veteran nonprofit organizations such as Soldiers’ Angels, Heroes on the Water, Healing Arizona Veteran, and the American Freedom Foundation. These are IRS-registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that are devoted to promoting the welfare of our men and women in the military and those who have already separated from the service.
We auction off all vehicles we receive in our Vancouver, Washington car donations program and use the proceeds to support our nonprofit partners in providing benefits to needy veterans and their families in your area: Here are some of these benefits:
- Veterans who have service-related injuries and disabilities have a chance to own mortgage-free and specially adapted homes that feature entry ramps, upgraded bathrooms, and widened hallways.
- Homeless veterans also have a chance to own mortgage-free homes.
- Veterans newly separated from the service are given transitioning and basic needs assistance.
- Educational scholarship and tutoring support are given to those who want to pursue higher education.
- Mentoring, job training, and job placements are given to veterans seeking employment in the civilian sector.
- Veterans diagnosed with service-connected mental disorders and those suffering from service-related disabilities and injuries are given free access to local health care facilities.
These are just some of the benefits that your participation in our Vancouver, Washington car donations program can bring to our nation’s heroes.
Donating vs Selling: Which Is Easier?
If you’re one of those vehicle owners who have been planning to dispose of their unwanted vehicles, you might have considered selling your car simply because you would like to get some money out of your clunker.
However, the problem is that reselling your vehicle yourself takes up so much of your time, effort, and money. You have to wait for the right offer to come your way. You also have to suffer the inconveniences of handling all the paperwork and the stress of haggling with prospective buyers. Moreover, you have to spend precious money to fix your car to make it sellable.
On the other hand, when you simply donate your vehicle through our Vancouver, Washington car donations program, you won’t experience any of these hassles. All you have to do is fill out our online donation form or ring us up at 877-594-5822 to give us your contact details and your vehicle’s year, make, model, mileage, running condition, and the availability of its title.
As soon as we confirm your information, we’ll send a tow truck over to your vehicle’s location to haul it away at a date, time, and place convenient to you – and you won’t even have to pay a single dime for this.
Lastly, we’ll deliver to you by mail your tax-deductible sales receipt within 30 days following the sale of your vehicle. You will need this receipt to claim your tax deduction when you file your itemized federal income tax return in the next tax season.
