Car Donations
Thank you for considering The Salvation Army CAR DONATION PROGRAM as the recipient of your vehicle donation. When you donate your car to The Salvation Army, you're helping us heal broken lives and assist individuals on the road to recovery. Proceeds from the sale of your donated automobile are used to help fund The Salvation Army's rehabilitation Program in Harrisburg.
If you have questions, you can call us toll free at 1-800-SA-TRUCK (728-7825). After receiving your information, we will call you within 3 business days to provide you with the stock number assigned to your donation and to arrange for a pick-up time. Your tax deductible receipt will be provided at the time of pick-up and additional information will be mailed after your vehicle has been sold.
How Do I Get My Car Donation Tax Deduction?
If your vehicle is operable, it will be auctioned at the monthly Salvation Army online auction. It typically results in a much higher sale price for vehicles compared to sales at conventional car auctions. The price it sells for at auction will determine the amount of your tax deduction, according to new IRS rules. The Salvation Army will mail you the information for your tax records within 30 days of the sale. If your vehicle is not operable, the Salvation Army will make arrangements to pick up the vehicle and you will receive the information for your tax records within 30 days of its salvage.
