In Winston-Salem, many families are unaware of the assistance available to them, such as FNS (SNAP) benefits or NC Medicaid. Limited access to information means that residents in neighborhoods like Happy Hills or West Salem miss out on crucial support services that could improve their quality of life.
Winston-Salem Donate Cars actively conducts research that identifies these gaps and connects residents with the benefits they qualify for. Our dedicated efforts ensure that residents in our community are not left behind, whether they need resources for childcare, healthcare, or food security.
When you donate a vehicle, you directly fund this vital research at no cost to you. Every car, truck, SUV, or motorcycle contributes to our mission of reaching those in need. By supporting our work, you help ensure that neighbors in areas like Old Salem can access programs like Work First (TANF) and WIC.
At Winston-Salem Donate Cars, we can turn nearly any vehicle into funded research hours for our community. Whether it’s an old truck from your garage in Ardmore or a motorcycle you no longer ride, your donation goes a long way in helping us connect fellow residents with essential benefits.
We accept cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and RVs, regardless of their running condition. Join your neighbors in making a tangible difference by donating a vehicle today!

Everything you need to know about maximizing your tax deduction when donating a vehicle in North Carolina.
When you donate a car to Winston-Salem Donate Cars, you'll receive IRS Form 1098-C to help you claim your tax deduction. The amount you can deduct is determined by the vehicle's fair market value or the sale price at auction, whichever is higher.
For example, if your vehicle sells for $1,000 at auction and its fair market value is determined to be $1,500, you can deduct $1,500. Keep in mind that you must itemize your deductions on your tax return to benefit from this deduction.
In North Carolina, the state tax treatment allows you to deduct the same amount as the federal deduction. Ensure you have the necessary documentation to support your claim. Always consult with a tax advisor for specific advice regarding your situation to maximize your benefits.
