Did you know Goodwill isn’t just a great place to donate your gently used clothing and household wares; you can donate your vehicles too?
Running or not, cars, trucks, boats and more can be donated to help keep Goodwill’s mission programs running strong. Plus, your donation may be tax deductible!
Donate your Vehicle to Goodwill and Do Even More GOOD!
Goodwill of South Central Wisconsin has partnered with Charitable Adult Rides & Services (CARS), a trusted nonprofit specializing in vehicle donation services. They accept all types of vehicles — running or not — and make the donation process simple, fast, and completely free.
- Wide Variety Accepted: Donate cars, trucks, trailers, boats, RVs, motorcycles, campers, off-road vehicles, planes, heavy equipment, farm machinery, and most other motorized vehicles — running or not.
- Free Towing: A licensed tow company will pick up your vehicle at a time that’s convenient for you, at no cost.
- No Out-of-Pocket Costs: All expenses are deducted from the vehicle’s sales price, so donating is completely free for you.
- Tax Benefits: Donors may claim fair market value up to the vehicle’s actual sale price.
Donated vehicles are sold through established used car markets, and CARS works with a broad network of vendors to help maximize proceeds, increasing the impact of your donation.
Vehicle Donations Are as Easy as 1-2-3
Have a vehicle that’s no longer being used, not running, or simply taking up space? Donate it today and put your donation to good use.
- Donate: Complete the online donation form or call 855-500-RIDE (7433).
- Schedule Your Free Pick-Up: Choose a time that works for you.
- Receive Tax Receipt: After the vehicle sells, CARS will send your thank-you letter and tax documents.
That vehicle sitting in your driveway could become a new job, stable housing, or a fresh start for someone in our community.
Your vehicle donations and more help support stable housing, job training, supported employment, free tax preparation services, and more. Your support stays local and helps people with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment and housing live, work, and thrive in our community.
Support That Goes the Distance
Questions? We’re Here to Help. Not sure if your vehicle qualifies? Most motorized vehicles are accepted. CARS provides a comprehensive FAQ and a dedicated Vehicle Donation Team available seven days a week to guide you through the process.
When you donate your vehicle, you’re doing more than clearing space; you’re helping power Goodwill’s mission and creating opportunities for people in our community.
