Vehicle and Heavy Equipment Donations

Through v-Dac, APA accepts donations of used vehicles.  Turn in your used car, truck, motorcycle, RV, boat, airplane, heavy equipment, farm machinery, etc.  V-Dac strives to accept most donations--whether the vehicle is running or not.  When accepted, the vehicle is picked up at your location, and V-Dac provides a receipt for your tax records when they sell the donated vehicle (usually within 30 days of pickup).  APA gets the largest portion of these proceeds to help support our work and programs.

Donations Bins

APA gladly accepts pet food donations at one of our food donation bin locations througout the city.  We accept opened food that is still good, and we accept other pet items as well.  However, we are in most need of dry cat and dog food.  Our supplies are usually depleted after our monthly food distributions.
