The latest census shows that one out of every five residents lives in poverty. Many of your fellow Dallas residents face disabilities, lack of education or job experience and other barriers that prevent them from finding steady employment and living productive lives.

That’s why Goodwill Car Donations created our Dallas, Texas car donations program to give you an easy way to help lift these individuals out of poverty. No matter where you live in Dallas – whether it’s the Bishop Arts District, Oak Lawn, Victory Park, West End or anywhere in between – we’re ready to pick up your vehicle. Through your generous car donation, we can work together to create lasting change in your community and provide hope for your neighbors in need.
