Do you pick up outside Wilmington limits?

Yes. Pickup covers Wilmington and the surrounding Delaware area, including Dover, Newark and Middletown. Enter your ZIP code on the form and a coordinator will confirm.

Who do I call about a donation in Wilmington?

Call (855) 681-1155 and a coordinator can take your Wilmington donation details by phone, or submit the form on this page and they will call you.

Do I need the title to donate in Wilmington?

A title in your name makes the transfer simplest. If you cannot find it, choose "No" or "Not sure" on the form — coordinators handle missing-title donations regularly and will explain the options for your situation before pickup.

What if I would rather give cash than a vehicle?

Veterans Care Charity accepts monetary gifts directly on its own site, and those donations fund the same veteran outreach programs.

Do I have to be present for the Wilmington pickup?

Usually someone should be there to hand over the keys and any paperwork, but if that is not possible, tell the coordinator when they call and they will go through the alternatives with you.

Will you accept a vehicle in Wilmington that does not run?

Yes. Non-running vehicles are accepted throughout Wilmington. Flat tires, a dead battery, a failed inspection or years of sitting still are all fine — just describe the condition on the form.
