Patriots and Paws

Homeless
Patriots and Paws aims to provide Veterans/Active Military/Reservists and their families throughout Southern California basic home furnishings for newly acquired residences.  They serve those ranging from Fresno, CA to the Pacific Ocean to the Mexican Border, to the Arizona Border.  Their limitations are only as far as someone will come to visit. This organization provides basic home furnishings for our Veterans/Active Military/Reservists, as well as rescued companionship animals that have up-to-date shots, are spayed, and have a micro-chipped. ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE.
 How to Donate a Car to Patriots and Paws With more than 30 years of experience, Cars2Charities has the expertise in making vehicle donations easier than ever. Cars2Charities is designed to provide donors with a simple, fast, and secure way to donate their vehicles to Patriots and Paws. In most cases, we accept all makes, models, and types of vehicles. While car and truck donations are our most popular type of donations, we also accept motorcycles, golf carts, and motorhomes. Step 1: Preparing for the Process You’ll start the process of donating your car to Patriots and Paws by collecting the vehicle’s cleared Certificate of Title and Registration. If you have misplaced your title or registration, don’t worry! We can help. Please find your vehicle’s identification number (VIN) and together we can determine which supplementary paperwork you will need to complete at the time of pick up.  Step 2: Scheduling Your Pickup  Give us a call at (855) 520-2100, or complete an online donation request. Our friendly donation coordinators will gather your vehicles information, and together, we will decide the most convenient time, date, and location for the pickup. Then we will send you an email that gives you step by step instructions to prepare you for the pick-up. Before arriving, our tow truck driver will call you one hour before to give you time to collect paperwork and prepare the vehicle for towing. At the time of the pick-up, make sure your title is signed and clear of any lien holdings. You will hand over the title and registration to the tow truck driver.  Step 3: Maximizing the Donation We take the reins at this point to maximize the donation for both our donors and charities. We do this by assessing the vehicle and adding value to increase the selling price of the car. It’s a situation many people dream about – a successful way to support a cause you care about without the work involved.  Benefits of Donating to Patriots and Paws By donating, you can share your passion for change and draw attention to what you consider important. In return, you receive a maximized ax deduction, and the comfort of knowing your donation sparked change and amelioration. Charities are not the only ones who benefit. By donating a car to Patriots and Paws, you’re part of a win/win proposition since vehicle donations to Patriots and Paws are considered by the Internal Revenue Service and the State to be COMPLETELY TAX DEDUCTIBLE.  Our value-enhancing services allow you to deduct the full sale price off your vehicle as a donation. We operate with full transparency between donor and Patriots and Paws by making sure everyone has a copy of the IRS regulated paperwork — including the IRS Form 1098-C which you will receive within 30 days after the sale of your car. Both you and Patriots and Paws will receive IRS Form 1098-C within 30-50 days of the sale of your vehicle, making the transaction transparent to all parties. Plus, we do all the work. There’s no standing in lines at the DMV or dealing with the paperwork to transfer the title.  Need some more info? The IRS guidelines for tax deductions is a great resource. You can also learn more about our vehicle donation program by watching our videos, which focus on frequently asked questions that we’ve grouped by topic.
