Boat Donation Orlando, Florida: Make a Difference in the Lives of Disadvantaged Folks

When people hear about Orlando, Florida, they can’t help but think of tourism. This is so because the city is home to Disneyland, Madame Tussauds museum, the Orlando Museum of Art, amazing golf courses, and other attractions. In 2018, 75 million tourists visited the city. 

However, Orlando is not just a tourism hub. Actually, only 20 percent of Orlando’s industry revolves around the tourism and hospitality industry. The remaining 80 percent is devoted to advanced manufacturing, aerospace and defense, autonomous vehicles, aviation, biotechnology, innovative technologies, health care, and medical research.

Orlando is also home to 100 lakes. The locals have been using these bodies of water to engage in the relaxing and fun hobbies of boating and fishing. It’s not uncommon to see local boating enthusiasts investing in boats so they can relax in the lakes without having to rent watercraft every time. 

However, even the sturdiest boat will eventually suffer wear and tear due to the elements. If you’ve realized that your trusty old fishing companion is overdue for retirement but don’t know how to get your hands off it in a practical way, consider donating that boat to Goodwill Car Donations.

When you do so, you’ll be supporting our mission to improve the living conditions of the disadvantaged residents of Orlando. These are the men and women in your city who are struggling with disabilities, lack of knowledge, skills, and experience, and other personal issues that prevent them from finding decent and stable sources of income and living poverty-free lives.

 You can make a difference in the lives of these people when you take part in our Orlando, Florida boat donation program.

 

How Your Orlando, FL Boat Donation Can Help Transform Lives

As soon as we get hold of your boat donation, we will auction it off and use the proceeds to support the community-based programs of the Goodwill organizations serving your area. These IRS-approved 501(c)(3) nonprofits are dedicated to uplifting the lives of disadvantaged individuals. They use the funding they get from our donation program to help finance the services they provide to their beneficiaries. These services include:
