Alameda is a charming suburban retreat in Tacoma, known for its spacious lots and quiet streets.

Local donation scenarios

Downsizing near the Alameda Park

After years in a spacious home near the peaceful Alameda Park, you’ve decided to downsize. The reliable sedan that served you through family outings now feels like excess. Donating it can turn it into a resource for someone needing transportation.

Inherited a family car with no parking space

You’ve inherited a vintage car from a beloved relative, but your home on 10th Street barely has room for your own vehicle. Donating this classic beauty can help someone in need while honoring your family’s legacy.

Failed inspection on S 19th Street

Your trusty old minivan has failed inspection and isn’t worth the repairs. Instead of letting it sit unused on your driveway, consider donating it. This will help someone in our local community get back on the road.

Moving out of state and can't take your car
