Donate your Vehicle to support post – 9/11 injured veterans

If you have a vehicle you are thinking of trading in or selling, consider donating it to Homes For Our Troops in partnership with National Charity Services that accepts most vehicles, including cars, trucks, trailers, boats and RVs.

When your vehicle is sold, the proceeds go to Homes For Our Troops, supporting our mission to build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.

Donate your vehicle in three easy steps:

	Donate online by completing the Vehicle Donation Form, or donate by calling National Charity Services processing center toll-free, seven days a week at 866-829-2918.
	Once your form is processed, a towing service will call you within two to four business days to schedule an appointment time to pick up your vehicle.
	You will receive a receipt upon pickup; if your vehicle sells for more than $500, you will receive a postcard with the value for tax purposes.
