Vehicles For Veterans is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit vehicle donation and recycling program benefiting veterans. Donors can help veterans by donating a car, truck, boat, RV, ATV, or motorcycle, whether the vehicle runs or not. Our program offers a simple alternative to selling or trading in an unwanted vehicle and provides donors with free towing and a tax deduction. Our website is www.vehiclesforveterans.org
