How Will My Car Donation Help Others?

When you take part in our Santa Rosa Beach, Florida car donations program, you help create life-changing opportunities for people in your community. We auction donated vehicles and use the proceeds to fund programs that improve the lives of those who need support the most. These individuals may include veterans, out-of-school youth and people with disabilities who are working to overcome barriers to employment.

Through these programs, you help provide job training, mentoring and career development services at no cost to participants. You also support placement services and disability benefits assistance. These resources help people build skills, gain confidence and move toward stable employment so they can support themselves and their families.

What may seem like an unused or worn-out vehicle to you can become a powerful tool that helps someone rebuild their life and contribute to the community.

How Does Goodwill Car Donations Work?

Donating your vehicle is simple and only takes a few minutes of your time. You can start by calling us at 866-233-8586 or filling out our online donation form.

You will provide basic information such as your name, contact details and your vehicle’s year, make, model, mileage and VIN. Let us know if you have the title and describe the vehicle’s condition. You can also upload a photo if you use the online form.

Once we review your information, we will schedule a pickup at a time and place that works best for you. If you cannot be present, you can leave the keys and title in a secure location or give them to a representative.

A licensed towing company will arrive on the scheduled day to pick up your vehicle. In many cases, pickup can happen within one or two days. The driver will give you a tow receipt, which releases you from responsibility for the vehicle. You can then cancel your registration, remove your plates and end your insurance coverage.

We will auction your vehicle and work to secure the best possible sale price based on its value. This helps maximize your tax deduction. Within 30 days after the sale, you will receive your tax-deductible receipt by mail. You can use this document when filing your itemized federal income tax return.

If you have questions, call our toll-free hotline anytime or visit our FAQ page for more details.

What Types of Vehicles Do You Accept for Donation?

You can donate many types of vehicles through our program, although some limitations apply. Vehicles can be in running or non-running condition as long as they can be sold to support our mission.

Please note that we cannot accept stolen or abandoned vehicles because a valid title is required for donation and resale.

Here are examples of vehicles commonly accepted in our Santa Rosa Beach, Florida car donations program:

  • General vehicles: cars, trucks, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, minivans
  • Motorcycles: standard, street, mopeds, scooters, cruisers, sport

If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, reach out and ask. There is a strong chance it can still help support programs in your community.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help My Community?

You can make an even greater impact by getting involved with local organizations that support people in need. Consider reaching out to the Florida Department of Health in Walton County to learn about volunteer opportunities tied to public health programs, outreach efforts and wellness services. You can also contact the Walton County Housing Authority, which supports families with affordable housing and may connect you with volunteer roles focused on housing stability. In addition, the Walton County Health Department works with local agencies to support residents facing health and financial challenges. These organizations can guide you toward ways to give your time and strengthen your community.

No matter where you live in the area, whether it’s Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Miramar Beach or beyond, we’re ready to help you get started.
