Since 2005, we’ve been working to strengthen our community with your support. When you donate your vehicle to Goodwill Car Donations, your gift helps fund job training, employment services, and community programs in Newark, Delaware.

Your generosity empowers people to overcome challenges and reach their full potential through education and job opportunities. The process is simple – just schedule a free pickup, and we’ll handle the rest. Proceeds from your donation go directly to local programs that truly make a difference. Help us create lasting change and transform lives in Newark, one car at a time!

Got an old, unwanted car sitting in your garage or yard? Instead of letting it rust away, donate it to Goodwill Car Donations. Selling or trading it can waste your time, money, and energy. You’ll likely spend on ads, listings, and haggling with buyers who want your car for next to nothing.

If you want to avoid all these hassles, let us help! Not only will you solve your problem the best way possible—with great rewards—but you’ll also have the chance to make a real difference for disadvantaged people in your city with your car donation.

By participating in our Newark, Delaware car donations program, you would serve as an instrument to uplift the lives of your less fortunate fellow citizens who are currently grappling with unemployment and poverty. We will sell your donated vehicle at auction and use the proceeds to fund our programs that provide free professional job training, mentoring, job placement, and career development services, all geared to end unemployment in communities across the nation.

Your car donation will enable underprivileged individuals to reach their full potential. They include indigent men and women looking for jobs, children with special needs, idle and out-of-school youth, struggling veterans, people with disabilities, and many more!

The skills training and mentoring services they will receive will help prepare them for positions in various industries such as banking, food service, retail, packing and assembly, health care, and many more. We’ll provide them with proper solutions based on their abilities.

Our Quick and Convenient Donation Process

We designed our Newark, Delaware car donations process with the convenience of our donors uppermost in our mind. Donating a car to us will just take a few minutes of your time. The process consists of just three simple steps.

First Step

Contact us either by dialing 866-233-8586 or by filling out our online donation form, which you can find on the right side of this page. We’ll be asking you about your contact details and the make, model, mileage, and VIN of your car, together with a brief description of its condition and title availability.

We’ll call you back after verifying the information you gave. We’ll then ask you when, what time, and where you prefer us to come over to pick up your motor vehicle. We’ll then arrange with a licensed towing company in your area to pick up your car. The towing fee is on us, so there is no need for you to pay.

Second Step

The towing company will haul away your car. It can be as quick as 24 or 48 hours after your initial call to us. Before the tow truck driver leaves with your car onboard, the driver will give you a towing receipt. This document grants you the right to cancel your car’s registration and insurance coverage.

Third Step

We will sell your car through auction. Within 30 days after the sale of your car, you’ll receive from us via postal mail your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. You’ll need this receipt to claim your tax deduction.

In most cases, the amount printed on the receipt is the same amount you can deduct from your taxable income when you file your itemized federal income tax return. It’s only when your car gets sold for less than $500 that you have the additional option of basing your tax deduction claim on your car’s fair market value not exceeding $500.

If you have questions regarding our car donation process and related matters, call us anytime toll-free at 866-233-8586. We have a dedicated staff ready to answer all our prospective donors’ calls on a 24/7 basis. You can also check out our FAQ’s page or send us a message on our Contact Us page.

What Are Other Ways I Can Make a Difference in My Local Community?

Beyond donating your vehicle, there are many other ways you can make a difference in the Newark community. If you’re interested in further opportunities to help, we recommend reaching out to the Concord Volunteer Program, which offers a variety of volunteer options to support residents in need. These include assisting local food banks, homeless shelters, and youth mentorship programs.

Additionally, the City of Concord offers volunteer roles through its Parks and Recreation Department, where you can help with community events, cleanup efforts, and initiatives supporting underserved populations. Local schools and churches also provide opportunities to get involved by supporting educational programs, food drives, and other community-building activities.

For a more direct impact, neighborhoods like Silverbrook in Newark, Delaware, can benefit from volunteers helping improve local living conditions and providing services to residents facing economic hardships. Volunteering in these areas creates lasting, positive change that can uplift both individuals and the broader community.

We serve the entire area, including nearby Bethany Beach, Dover, Rehoboth Beach, and Wilmington.
