How long does a van donation take?

The form takes about a minute, most donors hear back the same day, and pickup is typically scheduled within a few business days.

What happens to the van after pickup?

It is sold or recycled through the charity's process, and the proceeds fund meals, clothing and shelter assistance for veterans.

Is a van donation tax-deductible?

Yes. Veterans Care Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You receive a donation receipt at pickup, plus IRS Form 1098-C if the van sells for more than $500.

Can I donate a van that does not run?

Yes. Non-running vans are accepted. Describe the condition on the form and the coordinator arranges equipment that can move it.

Do I need the title to donate a van?

A title in your name is the simplest route. If it is missing, select that on the form — coordinators work through title issues with donors regularly.
