A Multi-Faceted Approach to Disaster Relief

The RVing Community Can Make a Difference

Donate Your RV
If you’re interested in donating your RV, EmergencyRV.org accepts travel trailers, teardrop trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and any motorhomes in good condition. These RVs provide emergency and traditional shelter and housing to those who have lost their homes in extreme weather events, such as floods, hurricanes, tornados, or wildfires. If you donate your RV, you’ll receive tax paperwork for the full appraised value of your vehicle.
Currently, EmergencyRV is seeking out donated RVs to ship to some of the 18 firefighter families who lost their homes to the fires in Maui. Their next shipment leaves from the port in San Diego on January 31st. To fast track an RV donation for Maui Firefighters, please email info@emergencyRV.org.
