Condition guide
When considering a vehicle donation, the condition of the vehicle plays a key role. Running vehicles are the ideal candidates, as they can be quickly assessed and sold or refurbished. However, non-running vehicles are also welcomed. Even if your vehicle has mechanical issues or cosmetic damage, we can often still accept it. Donations like these might be sold for parts or recycled, ensuring that you still contribute to the vital programs we support.
If your vehicle has a salvage title or has been deemed a total loss, it may still qualify for donation. It’s important to note that vehicles with significant structural damage or those that have been deemed unsafe for the road might not qualify. Regardless of the condition, our team is here to help you navigate the donation process and ensure your vehicle makes a difference in the community.
