When you donate an old and unwanted vehicle to us at Veteran Car Donations, you won’t just rid yourself of an unwanted possession. It’s one of the simplest ways to reach out to the men and women in your city who courageously fought for our freedoms and security. You’ll be playing a crucial role in addressing their problems and improving their living conditions.

For several years now, we’ve been working hard to help our troubled veterans transition into civilian life as smoothly as possible. We do our best not just to provide them with their basic needs but to also turn them into self-reliant and dignified residents of their community.

Our car donations program in Youngstown, Ohio aims to support former service members in Steel City who are faced with various challenges that prevent them from living decent and fulfilling lives.

When you donate a vehicle to us, you’ll be helping many Youngstown veterans receive essential care and benefits.

We’ll auction off your donated vehicle and pass the proceeds to our nonprofit partners, helping them deliver a range of life-enriching programs and services for the benefit of needy veterans residing in the city.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Youngstown had an estimated population of 65,469 as of 2018, with 36.2% of the locals classified as persons in poverty. The city had 4,112 veterans.

We’re not sure how many of these veterans are living miserable lives, but we can surmise that they’re not few. One thing we’re sure of is that once we sell your donated vehicle, the funds will help our charity partners in providing deserving veterans with various benefits, including free access to quality health care, counseling and psychotherapy services, job opportunities, housing assistance, financial aid, scholarships, and family support.

Expect These Perks to Come Your Way

When you donate a car to us for the benefit of the needy veterans in your city, you’ll also do yourself a huge favor. These are just some of the fabulous rewards you’ll get when you take part in our Youngstown, Ohio car donations program:

• Get a hefty tax deduction.

Thanks to our partnership with IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, our donors get handsome tax deductions for their donations.

• We tow your car for free.

You don’t have to worry about how you’re going to bring your unwanted vehicle to our warehouse. Just tell us where it is located and we’ll have a team pick it up — free of charge.

• No more paperwork.

• Save more money.

Aside from the cash savings that you’ll get from your tax deduction, donating your vehicle to us means you no longer need to pay for the costly repairs and maintenance of your old clunker as well as its registration and insurance fees.

The best reward you’ll get is the feeling of intense satisfaction, knowing that your act of charity will help the neglected veterans in your community get the chance to turn their lives around.

 

Our Quick and Hassle-Free Donation Process

Donating to our Youngstown, Ohio car donations program will take only a couple of minutes of your time to make in the comfort of your home. The only task you’re obliged to perform is to contact us. Just let us know that you’re making a vehicle donation, and we’ll take care of everything else for you.

Below is a quick step-by-step guide showing you a summary of our donation process;

1. Inform us of your decision.

Do this by either calling us at 877-594-5822 or by filling out our online donation form. We’ll be asking for your vehicle’s year, make, model, vehicle identification number, and title availability.

We’re giving you the choice to pick your preferred time, date, and location for the pickup and towing of your vehicle. We’ll coordinate with a local licensed towing company to do the job. No need to shell out any cash from your pocket — the towing fee is on us!

The driver will issue you a tow receipt before taking your vehicle away. Use this document to de-register your vehicle and cancel its insurance policy. If you can’t be around at the pickup site on the day of towing, that’s fine with us. Just make sure to leave your vehicle’s title and keys inside the vehicle or entrust these items to your representative so we can collect them together with your vehicle.

3. Receive your tax-deductible receipt.

We’ll promptly deliver your car to one of the best auction houses in our network. Within 30 days after its sale, we’ll send you your 100% tax-deductible sales receipt via mail. Your vehicle’s final selling price as indicated in the receipt will serve as the basis of the tax deduction you can claim when you file your itemized tax return in the next tax season.
