At the height of the second nationwide oil embargo of the 1970s, metro area residents were looking for a way to get rid of their large gas guzzling cars. Goodwill of Greater Washington was only too happy to help, and in 1978 we became the first nonprofit organization in the nation to begin accepting vehicle donations. In the first year, five vehicles were donated to us. In the past nineteen years, however, more than 25,000 vehicles have been donated to Goodwill and resold to support our employment, job training and placement programs for people with disadvantages and disabilities in the greater Washington , DC metropolitan area.

Thank you for donating to Goodwill. It’s the easiest way there is to do something good in our community.
