I’m a relocated Vet in ST Louis SOCO without a car. I know it’s a long shot but is anyone out here that would donate a car to a VETin need. I’m in a homeless program and just found work but can’t afford a car at the moment. Please let me know if you can help.

Try your local veteran’s affairs office, charities or craigslist.

Good luck!

+1 for @twotone and try local churches as well. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning.

The other option is to check with your local American Legion. They have money and helpful members. All they have to do is put the word out to their members. Also the local DVA takes cars that are donated and resells them and may have leads.
