DONATE A CAR TO CHARITY IN MINNEAPOLIS OR ST. PAUL
Have a vehicle you no longer want or that would be hard to sell? Let us take it off your hands! Vehicle donations not only help you get rid of a car you no longer need, but they also help hurting people. Did you know one out of every 4.8 people in Minneapolis lives in poverty?
While the poverty rate across the state is 10.5%, it’s 20.7% in Minneapolis. This means — in the same city known for Mall of America, University of Minnesota, historic museums, lakes, craft breweries, art galleries and professional sports — more than 20% of people are struggling to survive. One way you can make a big difference in the Twin Cities is by choosing to donate a vehicle to charity.
At Goodwill Car Donations, we take donated cars and turn them into vital funding for programs helping disadvantaged citizens in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The process is easy, and you support a worthy cause. When you donate your car, truck, motorcycle or riding lawn mower, your donation goes straight toward making Minnesota a better place.
The funds generated from your vehicle help transform the lives of people who are struggling with poverty, disabilities and unemployment. We serve Minnesota, including nearby St. Paul.
