Vehicle donation is not just for late-model cars. St. Tammany Parish donors regularly give junk cars, salvage-title vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, and boats; receiving charities work through condition and title questions when scheduling pickup rather than ruling vehicles out upfront.

Cars are only the most common donation. A small business retiring a St. Tammany Parish delivery truck, a household done with an RV that no longer leaves the driveway, or an owner ready to part with a project motorcycle can donate those vehicles on the same basic terms.
