There are many organizations and charities that work with car donation to fund the important services they bring to their communities. Goodwill® first began accepting auto donations as a way of helping the people who could no longer afford their gas guzzling vehicles during the nation’s second oil embargo. What began as a helping hand for the community became a reliable means of funding for the many services that Goodwill® offers the disabled and disadvantaged community. Goodwill® is comprised of 183 independent community-based organizations throughout the United States, Canada and abroad. True to its mission of helping the disadvantaged find work, Goodwill® continues to be a leader in job training, employment and career services. Vehicle donation enables Goodwill® to continue to meet the needs of every person that walks in their doors. Every forty-two seconds of every business day someone finds a job thanks to Goodwill®, and your car donation helps them make it happen. When you donate a car to Goodwill® your auto donation helps strengthen communities and families with training that leads people to become independent, tax paying members of society.
