How to donate your car or vehicle

Donate your car or vehicle online or call 1-877-277-4344.

Your car isn’t just a vehicle. It’s where life unfolded. It carried laughter on family road trips, teenager driving lessons, quiet moments on late-night drives and memories you’ll never forget. We know saying goodbye is more than handing over keys. It’s closing a chapter. 

When you donate your car, truck, boat, RV, or other vehicle to Habitat for Humanity, you give those memories new meaning. Your gift helps build safe, affordable homes for families and protects the environment by recycling your vehicle responsibly. Learn how to donate your car or vehicle below:
