No matter the condition, we can work together to find a solution for your vehicle, ensuring it serves a greater purpose in our community.
Categories we accept
Cars and sedans are often auctioned off or used for parts. This helps maximize the value of each vehicle and supports our funding for community programs. Each donation plays a role in helping local residents access vital services.
In Washington's urban areas, sedans are a popular choice for commuting, making their availability essential for neighbors seeking assistance.
Pickup trucks are frequently sold at auction due to their robustness and demand. Many times, they end up in the hands of local tradespeople or are stripped for parts to support repairs in our community.
In areas like Spokane and Yakima, pickup trucks are vital for farmers, tradespeople, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable transportation.
These versatile vehicles are popular for their cargo space and family-friendly features, often auctioned or reconditioned for resale to local families needing reliable transportation.
With Washington's diverse terrain, SUVs and crossovers are frequently sought after for outdoor adventures, making them a valuable resource.
Motorcycles can be sold at auction or disassembled for parts, providing unique riding opportunities or components for enthusiasts while generating necessary funding for community services.
Washington’s winding roads and scenic highways appeal to riders, making motorcycle donations particularly meaningful for the community.
RVs and campers are often sold for parts or auctioned off, helping to fund programs while providing local residents opportunities for affordable travel experiences.
With our stunning landscapes, RVs and campers are popular choices for Washingtonians who enjoy weekend getaways and outdoor activities.
Boats can be sold at auction or repurposed for parts, aiding in funding while allowing water enthusiasts access to previously loved vessels.
In coastal communities, boats are a cherished part of life, connecting families to fishing and recreation on Washington's beautiful waters.
Commercial vehicles are typically auctioned, with proceeds supporting local programs that help businesses and residents alike, enhancing economic stability.
With Washington being home to numerous small businesses, donating commercial vehicles can directly support local entrepreneurs and services.
Even non-running vehicles can be valuable; they may be recycled, used for parts, or sold as-is, generating funds that go directly to helping the community.
In urban areas throughout Washington, non-running vehicles are often left behind, and donating them can transform them into resources for those in need.
Condition guide
When it comes to vehicle donations, condition is important, but it doesn’t have to be perfect. We accept running vehicles, which are valued for their remaining life and potential resale value. Not-running vehicles still qualify for donation, as they can be recycled, used for parts, or auctioned in their current state.
Vehicles with salvage titles are accepted but may be subject to additional review. We evaluate each donation on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of action. We believe that even vehicles that aren't in prime condition can contribute positively to our community by generating funds for essential services.
