Help Uplift the Lives of Disadvantaged Delawareans!

Laurel is a small town in Delaware that’s surrounded by stunning ponds and state parks. It takes its name from the laurel bushes that grow alongside Broad Creek, which runs through the town and out toward the Nanticoke River. Due to its breathtaking natural beauty, Laurel captures the hearts of many.

As of 2020, the town had 4,608 residents, according to the latest World Population Review estimates.

However, just like any other town, Laurel has its share of struggles. Around 33.4% of its residents had an income below the poverty level. Moreover, records show that the poverty rate was 10.2% among females with disabilities and 8.2% among males with disabilities.

What You Can Do to Make Your Town a Better Place

Goodwill Car Donations works with Goodwill chapter organizations throughout the country by serving as their online vehicle donations platform. We accept donated vehicles on their behalf, sell them through auctions, and use the proceeds to raise funds to support their critical community-building programs.

Goodwill chapters are IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that are committed to helping disadvantaged Americans — those who suffer from disabilities, lack of education, skills, or job experience, and other limiting personal issues such as having police or prison records or being welfare-dependent.

Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County, the Goodwill chapter serving Laurel, Delaware, uses the funding we give to provide disadvantaged residents of the town with the following services:

  • Job training and placement
  • Career development and counseling
  • On-site and virtual skills training
  • Youth education and employment
  • Mentoring
  • Financial management training
  • Disability benefits support
  • Family strengthening services
  • Other essential support services

All these services are geared toward empowering disadvantaged individuals to harness their full potential so they can achieve financial independence through work and learning. You can help provide these services to your town’s underprivileged residents with your Laurel, DE car donation.

All Goodwill chapter organizations are IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofits. This means that your donation is 100% tax-deductible. Moreover, you can count on us to sell your car at its highest price level so you can claim the maximum tax deduction in the next tax season.

A Guide to Our Simple and Convenient Donation Process

Making a car donation in Laurel, DE, allows you to take the quickest and most convenient route to dispose of your unwanted vehicle. Even if it’s your first time doing so, we guarantee you a pleasant and hassle-free giving experience. All you have to do is follow these simple steps:

  • STEP 1: Reach out to us.

You can either fill out our online donation form or call us at 866-233-8586. In both options, you’ll have to give us your contact information and a few basic details about your car, including its year, make, model, mileage, VIN, the condition of the vehicle, and title availability. If you’ve misplaced its title, our team will help get you a duplicate.

  • STEP 2: Pick your preferred date, time, and place for the pickup.

After verifying the information that you shared with us, we’ll arrange with an affiliate professional towing company in your area to collect your vehicle according to your preferred date, time, and place of pickup. Don’t worry if something important comes up and you need to be somewhere else on the pickup date. Just let someone represent you or else simply inform us where your car’s keys and title are located.

The driver will give you or your representative a tow receipt that releases you from all liabilities on the vehicle you’re donating. You can use this document to cancel your car’s insurance coverage and registration.

  • STEP 3: Get your 100% tax-deductible sales receipt via mail.

We’ll have your car auctioned off. Once it’s sold, we’ll promptly mail to you the 100% tax-deductible sales receipt of your vehicle. The amount shown on the receipt will serve as the basis of your tax deduction claim when you file your itemized federal income tax return in the next tax season.
