The St. Vincent de Paul Society, Inc. uses income generated by donated vehicles to provide assistance to those in need. Suitable vehicles may also be given to qualifying clients who do not have reliable transportation

You benefit as well. The gross proceeds of your donated vehicle may be used for a tax deduction as allowed by IRS regulations. You also save time and eliminate the liability and stress of selling the vehicle yourself. .

It will take approximately 4-7 days from the time we receive both the vehicle information form and signed title for your vehicle to be picked up. The key factor in having your vehicle picked up quickly is sending your signed title and completed Bill Of Sale as soon as you receive or download your donation packet.

You can also speed up the donation process by delivering your running car to our council office located at 2050 Chamblee Tucker Road, Atlanta GA 30341 during our business hours. Please call in advance of delivering your car.
