Tappahannock, Virginia Car Donations: Make a Difference in the Lives of Disadvantaged Folks

Is there an old and bothersome car sitting idle on your carport or driveway that you want to get rid of? If so, a great option for you is to donate it to us at Goodwill Car Donations through our Tappahannock, Virginia car donations program.

Dumping it in the nearest junkyard would be such a waste of resources. Yes, you’d get a few quick bucks for the scraps, but you’d have to pay for the towing service, whose cost could be more than what you’d get from the junkyard owner.

Reselling your car is not a good option either since you would have to spend so much time, effort, and money in trying to make your car look good in the eyes of prospective buyers. You’d even risk your personal security since you will have to divulge your personal details in public while looking for buyers. Dealing with irritating hagglers is another reason why this option is not advisable.

You won’t encounter any such trouble when you simply donate your car to us at Goodwill. You’ll be free from stress and hassle. We will take it off your hands with ease. We will assign an expert towing company that will come directly to your location to pick up your car at zero cost to you.

On top of that, you’ll even get rewarded with an equitable tax deduction. Since Goodwill organizations are all 501(c)(3) certified nonprofits, you are eligible to claim the full selling price of your car as your tax deduction. It’s just like us selling your car for you for free!

The Bigger Purpose of Your Car Donation

However, the more significant and meaningful reason for your participation in our Tappahannock, Virginia car donations program is the help you’ll be providing to the men and women in your town who are burdened with disabilities, lack of skills and education, joblessness, poverty, and other circumstances that prevent them from accessing opportunities for securing stable jobs and living a happy and financially independent life.

The Goodwill organizations serving your town will use the proceeds from the sale of donated vehicles to provide quality vocational and educational services for persons with disabilities and job training and career opportunities for people with barriers to employment. These nonprofits also offer business solutions and human resources assistance.

Through these offerings, the disadvantaged people in your town will gain the skills and know-how needed to qualify for decent jobs that pay good enough wages to be able to support themselves and their families. Their productivity will in turn help spur growth and progress in your town, the state of Virginia, and the rest of the country.

You will have a major role to play in all this with your car donation.

How to Make a Goodwill Car Donation

An easy, fast, hassle-free, and most convenient donation process awaits donors to our Tappahannock, Virginia car donations program. All you have to do is contact us. You have two options in doing this: You can either call us at our toll-free 24/7 hotline 866-233-8586 or fill out our online donation form, which you can find on all pages of our website, including this page.

Tell us pertinent details about the vehicle you’re donating. Tell us also when, what time, and where you would like us to pick up your vehicle.

We will also ask if you are in possession of your vehicle’s title. In case you’ve lost your title, our title experts can help you secure a duplicate copy quickly so you can proceed with your donation.

We’ll arrange with a licensed towing company to pick up your vehicle. Before their tow truck leaves with your vehicle onboard, the driver will issue you a towing receipt. This serves as your ticket for canceling your vehicle registration and insurance coverage.

We will deliver your vehicle to one of the best auction houses in your area. We will exert our best effort to sell your vehicle at its highest possible price ceiling so you can claim the highest possible tax deduction.

Within 30 days after the sale of your vehicle, we will send you by mail your 100-percent tax-deductible sales receipt. You may claim the full amount indicated on the receipt as your tax deduction when you file your itemized federal income tax for the incoming tax-filing season.
