Las Vegas residents appreciate efficiency, and sedans offer a practical solution for navigating our busy city streets.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks are popular for both work and play. Donations often lead to auctions, though if they’re non-running, they may be used for parts to benefit our community programs.

In a city where outdoor adventures are just a drive away, pickup trucks are a staple for residents who love exploring Nevada's rugged beauty.

SUVs & Crossovers

These vehicles are perfect for family outings or rugged terrains. Often sold at auction, non-running models are frequently dismantled for parts, maximizing value for our mission.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles are typically auctioned to enthusiasts, but if they’re not running, they can be stripped for parts, supporting our local programs.

Non-running Vehicles

Even non-running vehicles can be valuable. We recycle the materials or salvage usable parts, ensuring every donation helps fund crucial community programs.

In Las Vegas, everyone has a story, and sometimes a non-running vehicle holds memories that can now help someone else in need.

Condition guide

When considering a vehicle donation, it's essential to understand the different conditions a vehicle may have. A running vehicle typically has a good resale value and can be sold at auction, generating funds for local services. If your vehicle does not run, it can still be donated. We can assess its condition and determine whether it can be recycled or dismantled for parts, both of which contribute to our funding efforts.

However, certain titles may affect donation eligibility. Vehicles with a salvage title, for instance, may qualify but often need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Ensure your vehicle has no major liens and is ready for a new purpose. Every vehicle donation counts!
