Car Donation in Toledo, Ohio for Veterans

Donate a vehicle in Toledo and help a veteran. Towing is on us.

Donating a vehicle in Toledo takes about a minute of your time. A coordinator arranges free towing from wherever the vehicle sits in Toledo, and the donation supports veterans through Veterans Care Charity.

The same free pickup covers nearby Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati and the rest of Ohio, so a donation from just outside Toledo is no problem.

Veterans Care Charity and your Toledo donation

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 Toledo 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."

Running or not: what qualifies in Toledo

If it has wheels or a hull, it is probably welcome. Toledo 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.

Toledo pickup and towing

There is never a charge to you for towing in Toledo — not at pickup, and not deducted from anything afterward.

Coordinators cover Toledo and the surrounding area, including Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
