Here’s how it works locally: you tell us your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Downtown Wilkes-Barre, Parsons, Miners Mills, Heights, South Wilkes-Barre, or nearby areas like Kingston, Plains, Hanover Township, Mountain Top, or Scranton. We arrange free towing, including flatbed service for non-running cars, from your driveway, street, or lot. You don’t need emissions, inspection, or repairs. After the vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt—typically within 30 days—meeting IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.

2-Minute Donation Start
The entire start process—your contact info, vehicle details, and Wilkes-Barre pickup location—takes about 2 minutes by phone or online form. Once you submit, a live coordinator quickly follows up to finalize everything so your donation is locked in today.
Monday–Saturday Live Dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm your donation and book towing. This weekday and Saturday coverage makes it easier to secure the earliest possible pickup window that fits your schedule, often within 24 hours in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Non-Running & Damaged Cars Accepted
Your car does not need to start, drive, or pass inspection. Flooded, wrecked, or mechanically dead vehicles are fine. Free flatbed towing is arranged so you can donate that non-running car sitting in your driveway or yard without any repair or prep work.
No Inspection or Paperwork Hassle
You don’t need to get a new inspection, emissions test, or repairs to donate. Just provide honest condition details and your title situation. The towing company and Heritage for the Blind handle the logistics, sale, and tax paperwork, including the IRS Form 1098‑C compliant receipt.
