Donate A Car In Winnipeg
Your car becomes meals, beds and warm clothing at Siloam Mission, right here in Winnipeg.
We tow it away for free, whatever condition it’s in, and we email you a tax receipt. The money from your car stays in Manitoba.
Where We Pick Up In Winnipeg
We pick up donated vehicles anywhere in Winnipeg, as long as they’re within the Winnipeg perimeter highway border.
If your car is parked in an underground garage, you’ll need to be able to drive it out to the road first. Everything else we can work with.

What Your Car Funds In Winnipeg
Every dollar from a Winnipeg car donation stays in Winnipeg.
One donated car can provide up to 65 meals for those in need.
We sell your donated vehicle to our recycling partner in Winnipeg and the proceeds go to Siloam Mission. Nothing is pooled nationally and nothing leaves the province.
Siloam Mission
Siloam Mission supports people experiencing homelessness and hardship in Winnipeg through emergency shelter, meals, clothing, supportive housing and other services that help people move toward stability.
What Your Tax Receipt Is Worth In Manitoba
Your receipt is based on what your vehicle is worth. We look at the year, make, model, mileage and condition, and we can appraise the car before pickup so you know the figure before you commit.
In Manitoba the minimum receipt is $300. There is no maximum. If you have a higher-value vehicle, tell us on the form or over the phone and we’ll appraise it properly.
Your receipt arrives by email by the end of the month after we pick up the car. A car collected in March means a receipt by the end of April. We can mail it instead if you’d prefer.
Paperwork In Manitoba
In Manitoba, the registered owner signs the seller’s line on the vehicle registration. Hand that and your keys to the tow driver at the time of pickup. That’s it.
Take your licence plates off before we arrive. They belong to you, not the car, and you can reuse them.
You don’t need a safety, an inspection, or an emissions test. We take the vehicle as it is.
Can’t find your registration? Call 1-833-465-7227 before booking. Missing paperwork can usually be sorted out, and we’ll tell you exactly what you need.
Three Steps. Five Minutes Of Your Time.
A simple, transparent process from your driveway to your tax receipt.

Almost Always, Yes.
We take cars that:
- Are in good, running condition
- Have body damage or rust
- Don’t run
- Have a dead battery or flat tires
- Won’t pass a safety inspection
- Have been sitting for years
- Have high mileage
- You inherited
As long as your car has tires and wheels, we’re good to go.
Give us a call first if:
- You can’t find the ownership papers
- There’s still a lien on the car
- The car isn’t in your name
- You’re outside the cities we serve
None of these is an automatic no. Most get sorted out on the phone.

What Winnipeg Donors Say
The Homeless Cars Team was friendly and professional. Communication was prompt. The tow truck operator was patient and kind and the pick-up was seamless. It’s good to know that my car donation will go towards helping those who are unhoused.
