Since 2015, Veteran Car Donations has been helping our country’s struggling veterans through motorhome donations and other programs. Veterans often face serious challenges when returning home from service, such as homelessness, mental health disorders, and complications due to physical disabilities. When you make a camper donation through Veteran Car Donations, you make a significant difference in the lives of local veterans and their families.
Proceeds from your recreational vehicle donation go directly to people near you in need. We use the money from your RV’s sale to assist local charities providing education, healthcare, job opportunities, mortgage-free homes, and other services to veterans. Together, we can provide the support Texas veterans need.
Many of our veterans continue to face mental health issues and physical disability as a result of the horrific situations they had been exposed to and the injuries they suffered during combat missions.
Veteran Car Donations, together with our military and veteran non-profit organization partners in Texas, has embarked on a mission to provide long-term solutions to help veterans build themselves up. Texas RV Donations is one of our programs to generate funding for our various projects all aimed at providing vital services for our deserving veterans.
What Are the Biggest Problems Veterans Face and How Do We Tackle Them?
Here is a summary of the serious problems confronting many of our retired troops today and how your contributions to Veteran Car Donations are helping us tackle them:
Problem: Thousands of veterans are jobless. Each year, out of hundreds of veterans, only 41% are prepared for their post-service careers. That leaves 59% unsure of their next steps in life.
Action being taken: We are implementing an educational program and skills and job training for our undergraduate veterans. This will help them become more competitive when they apply for jobs.
Problem: Many of our troops suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other mental health issues while deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The rate of PSTD among veterans is at an alarming 20 percent. Many of these PTSD sufferers do not know where to go for assistance. In the worst cases, some of those diagnosed with PTSD resorted to suicide.
Action being taken: We are providing active and retired troops and their families counseling programs to help them overcome these challenges.
Problem: The homelessness rates among veterans are shocking compared to the country’s general population. Veterans account for approximately 10% of the U.S. homeless population.
Action being taken: We are building mortgage-free specially adapted homes for severely injured post-9/11 troops.

When you donate your RV to veterans, the process is quick and easy with us. Check out these steps and get your vehicle towed for free!
Step 1: Fill out our online donation form on our website. You can also call us at 877-4994-4662. Our helpful phone representatives will explain how to donate your RV to charity. They will ask for information such as your RV’s make and model, your preferred date for pick-up, and your vehicle’s location.
Step 2: Once we verify the information you provided, we will make arrangements with your local tow company to pick-up your RV. Within 24 to 48 hours, the tow company will contact you to provide you further information.
Step 3: On the pick-up date, the tow company will hand you a receipt to release you from all liabilities.
Donate a camper to veterans and the proceeds will directly support our programs. Once the RV is sold at auction, you’ll receive a letter and tax receipt stating the RV’s final selling price. This receipt allows you to claim the maximum tax deduction when filing your itemized tax return.
Veteran Car Donations accepts all types of RVs and other vehicles, whether they’re in working condition or have been sitting unused for years. We accept RVs from all major companies, including Airstream, Jayco, Winnebago, and more. Veteran Car Donations does not limit the number of recreational vehicles you can donate. Our experts will gladly walk you through the process when you donate a motorhome or multiple vehicles.
Veteran Car Donations will pick up your unwanted camper from anywhere. We’ll also tow it at no cost to you. We understand that you may not know where the title for your old RV currently is, and our specialists can help with that. Contact our title department at 877-594-5822 for assistance.
Texas, The Lone Star State
Veterans live in nearly every corner of Texas. The highest veteran populations are in Bell, Bexar, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Harris, Tarrant, Travis, and Williamson counties. The state is home to several top-quality VA hospitals, including the Amarillo Veterans Affairs Hospital, the VA Heart of Texas Health Care Network, and the various Texas Veterans Health Care Systems. These facilities are often searching for volunteers to help provide superior services to local veterans. Volunteering is a truly helpful option if you wish to assist veterans in your area beyond donating an RV.
Veteran Car Donations operates in all 50 states.
