Small car repairs and regular maintenance may not worry you much. However, the major repairs should make you wonder if disposing of your old commuter car would be wiser and more economical for you. If the cost of repairs is greater than your car’s worth, perhaps it would be better if you just hand over your money pit to Veteran Car Donations through our Bridgeport, Connecticut car donations program.
How Your Donation Can Transform the Lives of Our Vets
When you donate your vehicle to us, you’ll be helping us raise funds to help cover the operating costs of our IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit partners as they deliver critical programs and services for the benefit of our struggling veterans. Let’s not forget that these men and women fought for us and courageously risked their lives to defend our freedoms and protect our nation’s security.
Unfortunately, many of these veterans are now facing great adversities in their transition to civilian life. They suffer from lack of jobs, service-connected disabilities and mental health woes, lack of support, and homelessness.
With your help, however, these heroes will have a chance to uplift their lives upon receiving the following benefits:
- Educational scholarships and tutoring support for veterans who plan to pursue a college degree;
- Job training and mentoring services for those who intend to join the civilian workforce;
- Mortgage-free and specially adapted homes for those with severe service-related injuries;
- Mortgage-free homes for those who are homeless;
- Free access to mental healthcare facilities for vets who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health issues;
- General transitioning assistance to returning troops;
- Grief counseling for military families who are trying to rebuild their lives after the loss of their loved ones;
- Orientation programs and support services so that veterans can enjoy the full range of benefits that are available to them.
You can help us touch the lives of our veterans by letting go of your old beater and taking part in our Bridgeport, Connecticut car donations program.

 A Donation Process You’ll Surely Love
Brace yourself for a fast and smooth giving experience! Our donation process is anything but complicated and time-consuming. Just follow these easy steps to join our Bridgeport, Connecticut car donations program:
- STEP 1: Tell us about yourself and your vehicle.
You can choose to call us at 877-594-5822 or fill out our online donation form. Give us your contact information and your car’s year, make, model, and mileage. Briefly describe your vehicle’s working condition and let us know if you have your car’s title with you.
- STEP 2: Pick a schedule for your vehicle’s FREE pickup.
We’ll send a licensed tow truck for your vehicle’s FREE pickup on the date, time, and place most convenient for you. You’ll receive from us a towing receipt, which releases you from all liability from that point forward. Use the receipt to cancel the insurance coverage of your car and to have it de-registered at your local DMV.
- STEP 3: Receive your tax-deductible receipt.
You can count on us to work with an auction house where your car will be sold at its highest possible price so you can claim the maximum tax deduction from it. We’ll send you your 100-percent tax-deductible receipt within 30 days following the sale of your vehicle. You can claim the tax incentive using this receipt when you itemize your deductions on your federal tax return in the next tax season.
Your Donation Benefits
If you still have second thoughts about participating in our Bridgeport, Connecticut car donations program, this list of benefits can help you make up your mind:
- You’ll enjoy a healthy tax write-off.
- We’ll pick up your vehicle for free!
- You won’t have to worry anymore about the costs of repairs and maintenance that come with owning an old vehicle.
- You’ll enjoy our super easy donation process.
- Free up valuable space in your garage.
The Types of Vehicles You Can Donate
Although it’s always awesome to accept vehicles that are in great working condition, this doesn’t mean that we won’t accept a clunker that has a dead battery, a faulty ignition switch, or a few dents here and there. We can still manage to squeeze out some value from vehicles that need a lot of work.
In other words, don’t hesitate to donate to us whatever kind of vehicle you have – unless it’s abandoned or stolen. We cannot auction off a stolen or abandoned car since it has no title or proof of ownership.
However, if you simply lost the title of your vehicle, you can still donate it once you secure a duplicate copy of its title. Call us at 877-594-5822, and our title experts will be glad to assist you in securing a replacement copy of your title.
