Who do I call about a donation in Philadelphia?

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

Do you pick up outside Philadelphia limits?

Yes. Pickup covers Philadelphia and the surrounding Pennsylvania area, including Pittsburgh, Allentown and Erie. Enter your ZIP code on the form and a coordinator will confirm.

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.

How soon can a vehicle be picked up in Philadelphia?

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 Philadelphia and the time that works for you.

Can I donate a Philadelphia vehicle that is in storage?

Yes. Vehicles are collected from storage lots, self-storage facilities, workplaces and residential streets in Philadelphia, not only from home driveways. Mention the location when the coordinator calls.

Philadelphia pickup and towing

Towing is always free. A licensed operator comes to your home, workplace or storage lot in Philadelphia at a time you agree on.

Coordinators cover Philadelphia and the surrounding area, including Pittsburgh, Allentown and Erie.

Your Philadelphia 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.

Vehicles accepted from Philadelphia donors

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