Give Your Vehicle
Donating Your Vehicle Just Makes Sense
By donating your car, truck, boat or RV to Volunteers of America’s vehicle donation program:
- You may receive greater value for your vehicle as a charitable contribution on your itemized tax return.
- You’ll be spared the ordeal of selling your vehicle.
- You’ll make a valuable contribution to help people in need in your community.
Whether you're in the market to buy or sell a high-quality used vehicle, you'll help vulnerable people in our community through Volunteers of America of Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho's Vehicle Donation Program.
