Vehicles

Why donate your vehicle to the Rescue Mission? Many donated vehicles are sold to help fund services to men and women seeking sobriety in our Recovery Program. Others are used to transport guests to appointments or pickup supplies and donations. The Mission is licensed by the Virginia DMV to sell vehicles to ensure your gift directly benefits the homeless. Once the vehicle is sold or given away, you will receive a 1099 for your taxes.

  • Vehicles accepted in running condition only
  • The vehicle(s) must be driven to the Rescue Mission with an accurate title and title information
  • Titles must be signed by individual(s) listed on title
  • Office paperwork takes approximately 5 minutes to complete
