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 Texas?

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 Texas and the time that works for you.

Does towing cost anything in Texas?

No. Towing anywhere in Texas is free, and the cost is never passed back to you or deducted from your receipt.

Can I donate more than one vehicle in Texas?

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

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Texas?

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

Is this a Texas-only program?

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

What we accept in Texas

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Texas arrive running, barely running and not running at all, and all three are useful.

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.

Tax deduction details for Texas donors

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.

You never have to chase the paperwork — the receipt comes at pickup and any additional IRS form follows once the vehicle is processed.

Veterans Care Charity and your Texas 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.

Money raised from Texas vehicles funds meals, clothing and shelter assistance for veterans through the charity's outreach and advocacy work.

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

Three steps to donate your vehicle in Texas

From the first form to the final paperwork, a Texas donation moves in three steps.

Tell us about the vehicle — the short form takes about 60 seconds, or call (855) 681-1155 and a coordinator will take the details by phone.
Schedule free pickup — a coordinator calls to arrange towing at a time that suits you, wherever the vehicle sits in Texas.
Receive your paperwork — you get a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the vehicle sells for more than $500.

Free towing throughout Texas

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

Coordinators cover Texas and the surrounding area, including Houston, San Antonio and Dallas.
