Together, we can drive change in our city!
The full process
Inquiry Starts Here
Begin your journey with Rides for Pride by reaching out to us through our website or a quick phone call. Our friendly team is ready to answer any questions you may have about the donation process. We’ll guide you through how your vehicle donation can help residents in Memphis access crucial services. We pride ourselves on our local understanding, so you can feel confident that your contribution will stay in our community.
Provide Vehicle Details
Next, we’ll need some information about your vehicle, such as the make, model, year, and condition. This information helps us determine the best course of action for your car. Whether it’s running or not, your vehicle can play a significant role in funding assistance for your fellow Memphians. Every detail matters, and our team is here to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.
Schedule Your Pickup
Once your vehicle details are submitted, we'll work with you to schedule a convenient pickup time. We understand that Memphis traffic can be tricky, so we aim to accommodate your schedule as best as we can. Whether you’re in Midtown or East Memphis, we’ll ensure that picking up your car is hassle-free and quick. It’s just one part of our commitment to making this process easy for our local community.
Pickup Day Arrives
On the scheduled pickup day, our friendly team will arrive at your location to collect your vehicle. You don’t need to worry about towing; we take care of everything. This step is not only an essential part of the donation process but also an opportunity for us to express our gratitude for your generosity. Your contribution makes a direct impact on the lives of people in Memphis.
Transporting Your Vehicle
After pickup, your vehicle will be safely transported to our processing center. Here, we’ll evaluate its best use—either auctioning it off or recycling it if necessary. This local approach ensures that the proceeds from your donation go towards impactful benefits research right here in Memphis, helping families who need assistance with vital programs.
Auction or Recycling
Once evaluated, your vehicle will either be listed for auction or sent for recycling, depending on its condition. Every bit of value generated from your donation is used to support local initiatives that connect Memphians with essential resources. Your vehicle is no longer just a car; it becomes a lifeline for your neighbors in need.
Tax Receipt Issuance
After the successful sale or recycling of your vehicle, we will send you a tax receipt for your generous donation. This allows you to claim a deduction while supporting a cause that truly benefits our local community. We ensure that the process is transparent, so you know exactly how your donation is making a difference in Memphis.
Follow-Up and Impact
We’re committed to keeping in touch with our donors. After your vehicle is processed, we’ll send you updates on how your contribution is being used to help families in Memphis. Knowing that your donation has made a real difference will resonate with you, reinforcing the impact of your generosity long after the donation process is complete.
