Support North Memphis: Donate Your Vehicle to Rides for Pride

Your vehicle donation fuels opportunity and connection right here in North Memphis, supporting families and vital community services.

North Memphis is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, with families living in historic neighborhoods such as Orange Mound, where the spirit of resilience thrives. Each day, hardworking residents navigate the challenges of urban life, often facing transportation hurdles that can limit their access to essential services like LIHEAP and WIC. Donating your vehicle isn’t just helpful; it’s a lifeline for those who need it most.

As you drive down the iconic Riverside Drive or stroll through the quaint parks near the North Memphis Community Center, you see firsthand the determination of our neighbors. Many are downsizing or moving, perhaps from their homes on Marlin Avenue or near the bustling atmosphere of the North Memphis Farmers Market. Your vehicle donation can help bridge the gap, providing families with the transportation they need to reach vital resources.
