Give Back to the Place You Love
In Lake of the Woods, helping out a neighbor just comes with the territory. Whether you’ve lived here for years or just settled in, there’s a shared sense that people look out for each other—and donating your car to Goodwill Car Donations is one more way to be part of that.
From the quiet streets on the North Side to the homes lining the Main Lake, every corner of this community has its own personality. If you’ve got a vehicle you’re no longer using, donating it is a simple way to turn that extra space into something meaningful for others nearby.
You don’t have to deal with selling it, fixing it, or figuring out logistics. We’ll handle the towing, paperwork, and everything in between. And while you’re clearing your driveway or garage, your donation helps support programs that give people in the region a real shot at steady work and independence.

We keep things straightforward so it fits into your routine without adding stress. Our quick process ensures you spend less time worrying and more time giving. Here’s how it works:
1. Start online or call us – Fill out our quick donation form or call our toll-free hotline at 866-233-8586.
2. Free pickup – We’ll coordinate with a local towing partner to pick up your vehicle – usually within 24–48 hours.
3. Tax deduction – You’ll receive a tax-deductible receipt once your vehicle is sold or repurposed.
4. Community impact – Your donation helps fund programs that benefit Lake of the Woods residents directly.

- Space reclaimed – Garage or driveway cleared.
- Eco-conscious – Reduce waste and repurpose responsibly.
