Boat Donation Panama City Beach, Florida: Be a Life-Changer for Your Town’s Disadvantaged People
Panama City Beach is a resort town in Bay County, Florida. It’s a popular spring break destination for young people because of its beautiful beaches. It’s also near major cities and top tourist attractions.
However, not everyone in the town is living a great life. Of the town’s estimated population of 12,583 as of July 2019, 5.3% were classified as persons in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Among these individuals are men and women who are struggling to eke out a living, burdened by their disabilities, lack of education, skills, and experience, and other personal issues that prevent them from finding decent sources of income so they can support themselves and their families.
If you have an old boat that you want to dispose of, you can use this to help the disadvantaged people of Panama City Beach, Florida. By handing it over to us at Goodwill Car Donations, we will quickly relieve you of the financial difficulties that your old boat is causing you as a result of its need for costly repairs, maintenance, parts replacements, and storage.
