Car donation pickup near you.
Cars Helping Kids reviews car donations throughout the United States. Send your pickup ZIP code and vehicle details; if the donation is accepted, a transport partner arranges pickup at no charge to you.
Short answer: Start with the car's year, make, model, condition, title status, key status, and pickup ZIP code. Cars Helping Kids checks the actual route before confirming acceptance or a pickup time.
How to donate a car near you
1. Submit the vehicle and ZIP code.
Use the secure form for a car, truck, SUV, van, or another vehicle. A ZIP code lets us check real transport availability without pretending to have an office in your city.

What “near me” means here
Cars Helping Kids does not claim a storefront in every city. The program is operated by Fainting Goat Foundation Co Inc, headquartered in Dawsonville, Georgia, and uses pickup and disposition partners. Requests are reviewed nationwide, but every vehicle and address must qualify on its own facts.
That distinction protects donors: a search result that mentions your city is not proof of a real local office, guaranteed pickup, or charitable status. Verify the legal recipient and EIN before transferring a vehicle.
Why choose Cars Helping Kids for a car donation?
- Car donations are the primary service. The request form, phone line, and agent interface all lead to the same reviewed donation intake.
- The identity is public. Cars Helping Kids is the vehicle-donation program; Fainting Goat Foundation Co Inc is the IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) and legal recipient, EIN 99-0472123.
- Pickup claims are conditional. Pickup is at no charge after acceptance; timing and availability are confirmed for the actual car and address.
- Tax language has limits. Documentation is provided as required, but the charity does not promise that a donor can take a deduction or guarantee its amount.
Verify before donating. Search EIN 99-0472123 in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search, then confirm that your title instructions name Fainting Goat Foundation Co Inc. See the full charity-verification checklist.
