We turn objects into impact.

With free donation pick-ups available in 8 metro areas across 7 states, we make it easy for you to support our heroes.

HelpVets picks up your gently used items for free, sells them at one of our thrift stores (each managed and operated by a local team) then donates a portion of proceeds to our partner charities supporting veterans and their families.

Where proceeds go

Your donations support those who served.

A portion of proceeds is donated to Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) and its subsidiary, VetsConnect. Together, they improve the lives of veterans from both past and current conflicts by providing direct assistance and vital programs.

Scheduling took less than five minutes. A friendly crew came right to my door, carried everything down from the porch, and left me with a receipt for taxes. I cleared out a garage full of furniture and clothes in a single morning, and it all went to support veterans. I've already told three neighbors to do the same.
