Donating Vehicles
At our Auto Donation Center, formerly homeless men are trained to detail, repair, and sell cars. 100% of the net proceeds from our vehicle donation program go to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, clothe the poor, and rehabilitate people into productive citizens again. Please call (800) 417-5678 to schedule a pickup or drop-off your vehicle.
Your car, truck, RV, or boat donation is tax deductible.
You will receive a tax-deductible receipt with our thanks.
The Auto Donation drop-off address is:
Rescue Mission Alliance
125 South Harrison
Oxnard, CA 93030
While we often accept vehicles in any condition – running or not – due to differing regulations and other considerations, not all types of vehicles can be accepted, so it's best to contact us first.
