Which Minnesota cities do you serve?

Every community in Minnesota is served, including Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester and Duluth. If your town is not listed on the site, pickup is still available — enter your ZIP code on the form.

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Minnesota?

Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats are all accepted from Minnesota donors — any make, model or model year.

Is this a Minnesota-only program?

No. Veterans Car Donation operates nationwide, but pickup for Minnesota donors is coordinated locally so towing is scheduled around where the vehicle actually sits.

What happens to my vehicle after it leaves Minnesota?

The vehicle is sold or recycled through the charity's process, and the proceeds fund Veterans Care Charity's programs for veterans, including meals, clothing and shelter assistance.

How soon can a vehicle be picked up in Minnesota?

Most donors hear from a coordinator the same day they submit the form, and pickup is usually scheduled within a few business days, depending on tow availability in Minnesota and the time that works for you.

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

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

Minnesota Vehicle Donation

Donate a Car in Minnesota and Support Veterans

Any condition, any Minnesota town — free pickup and a tax-deductible receipt.

A vehicle you no longer drive can do real work for veterans in Minnesota. Veterans Car Donation arranges free pickup across the state — from Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester and Duluth to the small towns in between — and turns the vehicle into support for Veterans Care Charity.

You never pay for the tow, never need to fix the vehicle first, and are never committed until you say yes on the phone.

Who your Minnesota donation supports

Veterans Car Donation is the vehicle-donation program of Veterans Care Charity, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012 and based in Las Vegas, NV.

Proceeds from vehicles donated in Minnesota support the charity's outreach for homeless and struggling veterans — meals, warm clothing and shelter assistance.

"Veterans Care Charity is committed to improving the lives of our American heroes, the Veterans. Through outreach and advocacy, we can make a difference."

Your Minnesota donation is tax-deductible

Your vehicle donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Veterans Care Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You will receive a donation receipt, and IRS Form 1098-C if your vehicle sells for more than $500. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific deduction.

The receipt you get at pickup is your first piece of documentation. If the vehicle sells above $500, Form 1098-C shows the gross sale amount for your return.

What we accept in Minnesota

Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats are all accepted from Minnesota — any make, any model, any condition.

Mechanical failure, missing parts and cosmetic damage are all common. Describe the vehicle honestly on the form and the coordinator will tell you exactly what to expect.

Free towing throughout Minnesota

Pickup in Minnesota is arranged around your schedule, and the tow itself costs you nothing.

Coordinators cover Minnesota and the surrounding area, including Minneapolis, Saint Paul and Rochester.

What the Minnesota donation process looks like
