Cleveland’s always been a town that looks out for its own. Between cheering on the Guardians, swapping stories at West Side Market, and waving to neighbors during a snowy morning shovel, people here understand what community means. It’s that same spirit that turns an unused car into something that helps local families facing the challenges of breast cancer.
Your donation helps fund crucial services like transportation to treatment and early screening programs for women who otherwise couldn’t afford them. Every donated car becomes a resource that supports recovery, comfort, and care across Northeast Ohio.
And for you, the donor, it’s just as rewarding – free towing, no paperwork stress, and the chance to make a real difference without spending a dime.
It’s a simple way to do something powerful with Breast Cancer Car Donations – Cleveland-style: practical, compassionate, and grounded in doing what’s right for others.
How to Donate a Car in Cleveland Without Breaking a Sweat
If you can handle winter driving on I-90, you can handle this process – it’s that easy. Donating your car takes just three steps, and we’ll walk you through each one.
Step 1: Reach Out to Us
Start with our online donation form or give us a quick call at 866-540-5069. We’ll ask for your car’s details: make, model, year, mileage, and whether it still runs. You’ll also need to confirm if you have the title on hand, though we can often help even if it’s missing.
Step 2: Set Up Your Free Towing
Once we’ve got your info, we’ll schedule a pickup time that works best for you. You don’t have to be there when we tow – just tell us where the vehicle’s parked, and our crew will handle the rest. Pickup is always free, and most cars are collected within 24 to 48 hours.
Step 3: Receive Your Tax-Deductible Receipt
After your vehicle is sold, you’ll get a tax receipt in the mail. That’s it – no long forms, no waiting in line, just a few clicks and a good deed done.

Questions Cleveland Donors Often Ask
1. Does it cost anything to donate my car?
Not a penny. Everything’s handled for you – towing, title transfer, and processing are completely free. You won’t have to pay for anything, and we’ll make sure every detail is taken care of.
2. Can I donate a car that’s not running?
It depends. If it's not running but could still be repaired, there’s a good chance we can accept it. What matters is whether it’s still in workable condition. If it’s too far gone, it may not qualify. Give us a few details and we’ll let you know.
3. What types of vehicles are accepted?
We accept most types – cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, and certain boats. Clevelanders have even donated old work trucks, classic cars, and small campers. If it has wheels or an engine, we’ll likely take it.
4. How soon can my vehicle be picked up?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours after you contact us. We’ll work with your schedule to make pickup easy, whether your car’s parked on a city street, in your driveway, or in a garage.
5. When will I get my tax receipt?
After your car is sold, we’ll mail you a tax-deductible receipt that shows its final sale value. Keep it handy when tax time comes – many Cleveland donors use it for their state and federal filings.
6. What if I’ve misplaced my vehicle title?
That’s common, and we can usually help with the paperwork. If a replacement is needed, the Cleveland Title Bureau at 1261 Superior Ave, Cleveland, OH 44114 can reissue titles quickly. Still, most of the time, our title specialists can handle everything for you so you don’t have to step foot in an office.
