Selling your old vehicle or boat can be a hassle. Dealing with potential buyers or dealerships is time-consuming. Advertising can be costly. The process could take days or take months, and chances are, you’ll have to compromise on price. But donating your car to Melwood couldn’t be easier – and the tax benefits are solid.
We find most of our donors prefer the convenience of online donation. You can donate your used car, van, truck, boat with a trailer, or recreational vehicle seven days a week, 24 hours a day. It’s as easy as going online and filling out our online auto donation form. We handle the rest for you.
You can also donate over the phone or find out more about our Donate Car Washington DC Program by calling 1-877-MELWOOD (877-635-9663), and one of our friendly operators will assist you.
Hours of Operation:
| Monday - Thursday | 8am to 8pm |
| Friday | 8am to 5pm |
| Saturday | 9am to 4pm |
It’s easy, it tax-advantageous, and it will help support the valuable work of Melwood and the progress of the people we serve. Wherever you live in the Washington DC area, donating your car to Melwood is hassle-free.
