Is this a New Mexico-only program?

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

Do I have to be present for the New Mexico 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.

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in New Mexico?

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

Can I donate more than one vehicle in New Mexico?

Yes. Submit the form for the first vehicle and mention the others when the coordinator calls; multiple pickups in New Mexico can often be arranged together.

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 need the title to donate in New Mexico?

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.

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

Coordinators cover New Mexico and the surrounding area, including Albuquerque, Las Cruces and Rio Rancho.

What we accept in New Mexico

If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. New Mexico donors regularly hand over cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats.

A failed inspection, body damage, a dead battery or years parked in the same spot will not disqualify a donation. If you are unsure, note it on the form and a coordinator will confirm before pickup.
