A Thoughtful Way to Give Back Locally
That car’s been part of your everyday life – early morning drives, quick trips around town, maybe even a few memorable weekends. In Stuart, letting it go can mean giving someone else a chance to start their own journey.
Around here, a good set of wheels takes you from sunrise views near Sewall’s Point to evenings spent in Downtown Stuart. And when it’s time to move on from yours, it can still do something meaningful close to home.
Donating your vehicle through Goodwill Car Donations is a simple, thoughtful way to give back. We’ll handle the towing, paperwork, and pickup, so you don’t have to worry about the process. And while you’re letting go of something that’s been part of your life, your donation helps support programs that create real opportunities for people in the community.
It’s more than just passing on a car – it’s helping someone else get where they need to go next.
How Car Donation Works in Stuart
Donating your car doesn’t have to be complicated – here’s how it goes, step by step.
1. Start online or by phone – Head to our quick donation form or give us a call at 866-233-8586. We’ll ask a few easy questions to see if your vehicle is a good fit. No pressure, no hard sell – just a straightforward conversation.
2. Free towing – Once everything checks out, just tell us when it works for you. We’ll send a local towing team to pick it up – no cost to you.
