Trade-in values for older cars are never what you want them to be. So why not do something good for veterans instead by donating it?
The Cars Helping Veterans organization works to do just that by collecting donated cars and selling them for scrap metal and parts. All funds raised are used to provide food, shelter, clothing and other services to wounded war veterans and veteran organizations that aid the thousands of homeless veterans sleeping outside every night.
In addition to cars, the nonprofit organization also accepts boats, trucks, vans, conversion vans, motorcycles and RVs. Furthermore, it doesn't matter whether the car is in running condition or not. However, regardless of what type of vehicle or its condition, all donations must include the title and a lien release (if applicable). 
The company will send a towing company out to collect the car (for free) within 48 to 72 hours, at your scheduling convenience. All donors will receive an IRS tax deductible receipt after their car is picked up.
Cars are collected nationwide. In Washington, there are six locations serving Cars Helping Veterans, and donors can request that their proceeds be used locally. To donate a vehicle, visit www.carshelpingveterans.org/secure/donate-a-car.php and complete the appropriate forms. For more information, call (888) 480-VETS.
