If you’re ready to donate your car today in the Memphis Metro area, you can start — and complete — your donation in just a few minutes. With Rides for Pride, powered by Heritage for the Blind, a live coordinator confirms your details and schedules your free tow right away. In most Memphis Metro locations, cars are picked up the same day when you contact us on a weekday before noon, or by the very next business day. Your tax-deductible donation directly supports services for people who are blind or visually impaired.
The process is simple and local to Memphis. Start online with a quick 2‑minute form or call to reach a live coordinator Monday through Saturday. We’ll confirm your car’s year, make, model, general condition, and exact pickup location — whether you’re in Midtown, East Memphis, Southaven, Bartlett, Cordova, Germantown, or near the University District or Downtown. Your vehicle doesn’t need to run; we send a flatbed if needed, at no cost to you. After your vehicle sells, you’ll receive a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days, that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for deductions over $500.

Live coordinators Monday–Saturday
A real person is available Monday through Saturday to finalize details, answer timing questions, and lock in your pickup. That means you aren’t waiting days for a call-back — you get scheduling help in real time.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Your car does not have to start, pass inspection, or even be drivable. We arrange free flatbed towing for non-running or wrecked vehicles throughout the Memphis Metro, so condition doesn’t slow down your donation.
No inspection or repairs needed first
Don’t spend time fixing or detailing your vehicle. We accept cars as-is, which lets you donate today instead of waiting for appointments, estimates, or repair work before you can schedule your pickup.
