From Your Driveway to Their Table: Support Feeding America

Ending hunger in America is a mission that requires more than just food—it requires a movement. While many support Feeding America through traditional donations, there is a unique way to fuel the fight against food insecurity: donating a vehicle. By turning an old car, truck, or boat into a donation, supporters provide the infrastructure and innovation needed to reach every corner of the country. An unused vehicle becomes the fuel for a hunger-free America, helping to sustain a network of food banks that serves every single county in the United States.
Together, the Nation Can End Hunger
No one can solve hunger alone, but together, it is possible to ensure that no family is left behind. Feeding America believes that access to nutritious food is a fundamental right. Last year, the shared commitment between donors, volunteers, and partners helped provide over 5 billion meals to people in need.
When a vehicle is donated, it isn’t just clearing out a driveway; it is putting food on tables and hope in hearts. These contributions help build a country where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
Where the Dollars Go
Efficiency and transparency are at the heart of the Feeding America mission. When the network works together, every resource goes further.
- 98% of all donations (both cash and non-cash) directly support programs that help people facing hunger.
- Proceeds from car donations help scale impact, from sourcing fresh produce to supporting local community programs.
- Because these gifts support a nationwide network, contributions help families in local communities and across the country.
With the average car donation grossing significantly more than a standard cash gift, one vehicle can provide thousands of meals in a single gesture.
Why a Car Donation is Different
Donating a car is a practical, high-impact way to give. It transforms an underused asset into flexible funding—resources that Feeding America can direct to where the need is greatest, whether that’s disaster relief, school pantry programs, or senior grocery deliveries.
It also removes common barriers to giving. There is no need to worry about repairs, private sales, or expensive towing. The process is entirely hassle-free:
- Free Towing: The vehicle is picked up at no cost to the donor.
- Tax Benefits: Donors may qualify for a significant tax deduction.
- Simple Process: The paperwork is handled by experts so the focus remains on the impact being made.
How to Donate a Car to Feeding America
Turning a car into meals is simple and completely free:
- Fill out the form: Complete the secure online vehicle donation form.
- Schedule a pickup: A free towing service will be arranged at a convenient time.
- Receive a receipt: Once the vehicle is processed, the donor receives a tax receipt and the satisfaction of knowing the car is making a life-changing difference.
For those looking for a powerful way to support the fight against hunger, the solution might be sitting in the garage. These acts of generosity help sustain the people and programs working every day toward a hunger-free America.
