You can start and complete your Oregon car donation today. With Cascade Car Exchange, a quick 2‑minute form or phone call connects you to a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator who confirms your vehicle details and sets your pickup time. In most Oregon metro areas—Portland, Salem, Eugene–Springfield, Hillsboro, Gresham, Beaverton—weekday calls before noon can be scheduled for same‑day pickup. Later calls are usually picked up the next business day, so your driveway can be clear within 24–48 hours.
The process is simple: tell us your year, make, model, condition, and location anywhere in Oregon—from North Portland to Medford, Bend, Albany, Corvallis, or the Oregon Coast. Your car does not need to run; we send a professional tow or flatbed at no cost to you. There’s no emissions test or inspection required. After the vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations over $500, typically within 30 days. You get fast pickup, a clean handoff of your title, and solid documentation for your deduction—starting with one simple step you can take right now.

Live coordinator confirms details and timing
5–10 minutesMonday–Saturday, a live coordinator reviews your vehicle’s condition, exact address, and any special towing needs. They’ll confirm if same‑day pickup is available (for weekday calls before noon in most metro areas) or set the earliest available next‑business‑day time window that fits your schedule.
Free tow or flatbed pickup at your driveway
Same day or next business dayA professional towing partner comes to your Oregon location—driveway, curb, or shop. Non‑running and damaged vehicles are fine; we use flatbeds when needed. You hand over keys and title, sign a simple release, and the tow truck hauls the vehicle away at no cost to you.
Title transfer and processing
3–10 business daysOur team and Heritage for the Blind handle the back‑end paperwork, working within Oregon DMV rules to ensure clean transfer. You should no longer be responsible for the vehicle once it’s picked up and titled out of your name, freeing you from storage, insurance, and registration hassles.
Vehicle sale and IRS-ready tax receipt
Within about 30 days of pickupYour donated car is sold, and proceeds support Heritage for the Blind’s services for people who are blind or visually impaired. Within roughly 30 days, you receive a written tax receipt by mail that satisfies IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for deductions over $500, documenting your charitable contribution.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Oregon metros
Call on a weekday before noon from areas like Portland, Salem, Eugene–Springfield, Gresham, Beaverton, or Hillsboro, and in most cases we can dispatch a truck for same‑day pickup. Later calls are typically scheduled for the next business day.
2-minute donation start
You don’t have to spend your whole afternoon on paperwork. Our streamlined online form or quick phone intake takes about two minutes, capturing only what’s needed to schedule your pickup and connect you with a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm your details and match you with the fastest available tow in your Oregon area. That means you’re not waiting for a call back next week—your pickup window is set right away.
Non-running cars and flatbed towing
No need to fix, jump, or smog your car. We’ll take non‑running, damaged, or undrivable vehicles, using flatbed service when needed. The tow is always free, anywhere in Oregon where our towing partners operate.
No inspections or repairs required
Don’t delay your donation trying to get the car “ready.” We don’t require pre‑donation inspections, repairs, or emissions checks. As long as you have the title and basic details, we can move straight to scheduling pickup and processing your tax paperwork.
