South Tacoma is a resilient community with deep industrial roots and a vibrant mix of families and local entrepreneurs. Many residents rely on older pickup trucks for work, be it hauling tools for their trades or transporting goods for their businesses. As the area evolves, so does the need for support services that help our neighbors thrive. By donating your vehicle, you can help fund valuable resources for families facing tough times, from LIHEAP energy assistance to WorkFirst job training.
Residents living near landmarks like the historic South Tacoma Magnet School and the bustling South Tacoma Way are often looking for ways to contribute to the community. Whether you’re downsizing, moving, or simply have a vehicle that has seen better days, donating can be a practical solution that benefits everyone. Together, we can build a stronger South Tacoma, one vehicle at a time.
Local donation scenarios
Moved away from South Tacoma

Failed inspection on South 12th Street
Your pickup truck just failed inspection near South 12th Street, and you’re not sure what to do next. Instead of costly repairs, consider donating it to support neighborhood programs that help those in need.
