Vehicle Donations

Any Vehicle In Any Condition Can Be A Vehicle Of Change

What is your car worth? Is it worth a transformed life? A restored family and marriage? An addict becoming the father, mother, husband or wife they’ve always wanted to be? That’s the value your vehicle has. Your vehicle donation in any condition allows us to be that catalyst for change.

At Sheepgate, we believe in the power of transformation. Your donation doesn’t just clear space; it paves the way for positive change. Your old vehicle can become a beacon of hope for those in need. Whether running smoothly or needing a little TLC, we accept all types – cars, trucks, vans, and much more.

Donating is a breeze! We’ll arrange to pick up your vehicle, whether you’re at home or not, and handle all the paperwork. It’s hassle-free giving at its finest. Our skilled team breathes new life into each donation, selling the restored vehicles at auction. Donations are tax-deductible, and every penny raised at auction directly supports our addiction recovery programs in Iowa and Nebraska.

Our Vehicle Donation Program accepts cars, trucks, vans, crossovers, SUV’s, boats, campers, trailers, motorcycles, golf carts, ATV’s, semis, dump trucks, jet skis, buses, snowmobiles, and more! Please contact us with information on the specific item you wish to donate.

Donations are tax-deductible and all proceeds go to Sheepgate to help save lives!

We arrange to pick your vehicle up (whether you’re home or not) and we handle all the paperwork. We make it simple and hassle-free for you to donate.

Here’s a brief outline of the Sheepgate auto donation process:

  • We schedule the time for a free pickup or tow.
  • We call you the day of pickup to confirm and let you know we are en-route.
  • All we need are vehicle keys and the title, signed by everyone listed as “owner” on the title.
  • At the time of pickup, we’ll remove and return your old plates, and issue you a very simple receipt that shows that we took possession of the vehicle.
  • It also shows that our liability insurance is activated at that moment.
  • Once the car arrives at our facility, we’ll complete the titling paperwork and you will receive a tax deductible receipt within 30 days of the sale of your vehicle.
