Convert Your Old Clunker into a Life-Changing Tool
Are you thinking about getting a new car because the old one just keeps quitting on you? Have you thought about what to do with your old clunker?
Why don’t you consider donating it to support a charitable cause — in particular, one that promotes the welfare of veterans who are facing challenges in transitioning back to civilian life? The simple act of donating a vehicle to us at Veteran Car Donations through our Fort Drum, New York car donations program can enable disadvantaged vets in your city to have access to the various life-enhancement programs and services that our charity partners provide.Â
We’re talking about our former service members who can no longer support themselves and their families for their inability to find decent and suitable jobs, those who are suffering from service-connected disabilities and illnesses, including mental health disorders, and those who have become homeless for lack of support.
Your vehicle donation will be used to help improve the living conditions of these veterans in your local area.
How Your Fort Drum, NY Car Donation Will Benefit Needy Vets
When you donate a vehicle to us, we’ll make sure that your car will be sold at auction at its best value. We’ll then transfer the proceeds to our charity partners. These IRS-approved 501(c)(3) nonprofits use the funding that we give them to deliver the following benefits to their veteran beneficiaries:
- Various forms of assistance for those confined in hospitals;
- Therapeutic activities to help rehabilitate disabled veterans;
- Nature-based psychotherapy, team building, and family dynamics development programs for veterans and their families;
- Housing assistance for those who are homeless;
- Educational scholarships and tutoring support for those who seek to pursue higher education;
- Job training and mentoring for veterans who need to find stable and rewarding employment; and
- Financial and other forms of aid for destitute, low-income, and homeless veterans.
Aside from these services, our nonprofit partners sponsor events aimed at encouraging companies and organizations to give back to the veteran community.
