Car Donation Portland, Oregon: Empower Disadvantaged Portlanders with Work and Learning

Portland is the biggest and most populous city in the state of Oregon. Nicknamed the City of Roses, Portland is located in an area that’s favorable to a lot of industries. It is a major port in the Willamette Valley region of the Pacific Northwest.

The city boasts of relatively low energy cost, accessible resources, large marine shipping facilities, and other economic advantages. The Port of Portland is home to one of the largest commercial dry docks in the country. Portland is also the largest shipper of wheat in the United States.

However, not everyone can afford a good life in the city. Out of Portland’s estimated population of 654,741 as of July 2019, the U.S. Census Bureau classified 14.9% as persons in poverty. These are the Portlanders who are burdened with disabilities, lack of education, skills, and job experience, and other disadvantages. These personal hindrances bar them from securing decent and stable sources of income and living productive and fulfilling lives.

If you have a car that you no longer want, that’s all you need to lend a helping hand to these less fortunate Oregonians. All you have to do is to turn over that auto to us at Goodwill Car Donations through our Portland, Oregon car donation program.

Your Clunker For Their Better Future

We will auction off your donated car and use the proceeds to support the critical programs and services of the Goodwill organization serving your area. This IRS-approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit caters to disadvantaged Oregonians and use the funding they get from our donation program to help finance the services they provide to their beneficiaries. These services include:

  • 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

With all these services, your Portland, OR car donation will undoubtedly make a big difference in your community.
