Can I donate a Seattle vehicle that is in storage?

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

What happens to my vehicle after it leaves Seattle?

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.

Can I donate more than one vehicle in Seattle?

Yes. Submit the form for the first vehicle and mention the others when the coordinator calls; multiple pickups in Seattle 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.

What kinds of vehicles can I donate in Seattle?

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

Do I need the title to donate in Seattle?

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.

Running or not: what qualifies in Seattle

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

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.
