If you have an old vehicle sitting in your driveway, you may be wondering what to do with it. The good news is that scheduling a car donation pick up through Mercy House Vehicle Donation Program in Mississippi costs you absolutely nothing — and your generosity directly fuels life-changing, faith-based recovery programs right here in our community. From the moment you reach out, our team handles everything so you can give back without the hassle.

What Happens During a Free Car Donation Pick Up?

Many donors are surprised by just how straightforward the vehicle pickup process is. There are no fees, no towing costs, and no paperwork headaches. Mercy House coordinates everything on your behalf, working around your schedule to make the experience as convenient as possible.

Here is what you can expect from start to finish:

  1. Complete our simple online donation form at vehicledonationms.com/Donate or give us a call.
  2. A friendly representative will contact you to confirm your vehicle details and schedule a pickup time that works for you.
  3. A licensed tow truck will arrive at your location — home, workplace, or elsewhere — and haul your vehicle away at no charge.
  4. You will receive your IRS tax receipt, typically within a few days of the pickup.

That is truly it. You do not need to drive the car anywhere, pay a dime, or spend hours on the phone. The entire donated vehicle pickup experience is designed with your convenience in mind.

What Vehicles Are Eligible for Donation Pick Up?

One of the most common questions we hear is whether a vehicle needs to be in running condition to be donated. The short answer is no. Mercy House accepts a wide variety of vehicles regardless of their condition, making it easy for almost anyone to participate.

Accepted Vehicle Types

  • Cars and sedans — running or not
  • Trucks and SUVs
  • Motorcycles and scooters
  • Boats and recreational vehicles
  • Vans and minivans

What About Condition?

Whether your car has a blown engine, flat tires, or has simply been sitting untouched for years, we will still schedule a free tow away donation for you. As long as you have a clear title, we can move forward. If you have questions about your specific situation, our team is happy to walk you through it before you commit.

The Tax Benefits of Donating Your Vehicle

Giving your vehicle to a qualified nonprofit is not just good for the soul — it can also be good for your finances. Because Mercy House Ministries is a registered IRS 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

After your car donation pick up is completed and the vehicle is sold at auction, you will receive documentation showing the sale price. In most cases, you can deduct that amount on your federal income taxes. We recommend consulting a tax professional to understand exactly how this benefit applies to your situation, but many donors find that donating their car is more financially rewarding than trading it in or selling it privately.

How Your Donated Vehicle Transforms Lives in Mississippi

At Mercy House Ministries, we believe that recovery is possible for everyone. The proceeds from every vehicle we receive go directly toward funding our faith-based residential recovery programs for men and women across Mississippi who are battling addiction and homelessness.

When you schedule a car donation pick up, you are doing more than clearing space in your driveway. You are providing meals, shelter, counseling, and spiritual support to individuals who are working hard to rebuild their lives. Your generosity becomes part of someone else's story of redemption and restoration.

Every vehicle we receive — no matter its condition — becomes a resource for healing. Your donation is never just a car to us; it is an investment in a person's future.

We are deeply grateful for every donor who chooses to partner with us. Your trust means everything to this ministry and to the people we serve.
