Your Old Vehicle or Boat Can Help a Veteran Beat PTSD and Live a Better Life!

22 Million Veterans
Roughly 30% of our newest veterans have a service-related disability and almost 8% live in poverty.  16% of our older veteran population are similarly injured and 7% of that broader group are living in poverty.

20 Veteran Suicides Every Day
An American veteran takes his or her own life every 72 minutes of every day, all year long. This is a tragic loss of American heroes who gave everything defending America and freedom and democracy around the world.

Your Car Donation Will Help Veterans Live a Better Life
Donating your old vehicle, boat, or RV to DVEN will save you the time, hassle, and expense of trying to sell it yourself and will give us resources to support America’s veteran community.

You can donate to us in all 50 states and we will collect your vehicle and take care of all of the donation and processing details.  Our vehicle donation program is unique because we take the time to make repairs to the vehicles we receive.  This gives our donors a higher tax deduction and generates more dollars for our important programs.

We identify veteran organizations that are providing genuine support to the veteran community and provide monetary support to those programs through our vehicle donation program. The veteran programs we currently support are located at this link: veteran organizations DVEN supports.

Simply click the link below to have our team explain the donation process and provide an estimate on the amount of your tax deduction:

The 1997 Mazda Miata at right was donated to us with 293,211 miles on the odometer.  Our team did some repairs, gave it the DVEN/Rally4Vets livery and the car is out in the community every day helping tell the disabled veteran story.

Below the Miata is Woody, our service dog in training as of April 2025, with his veteran, Susan, who served two combat tours in Afghanistan and struggles with PTSD.

Thank you for visiting our website and reviewing our veteran assistance programs.  We hope joining  DVEN’s vehicle donation program supports your goals.

Warm regards,

Robert Hess
