If you’re ready to donate your car today in Greater New Orleans, Crescent Wheels can get you started right now. Fill out our simple 2-minute online form or call to reach a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator Monday–Saturday. In most metro New Orleans areas, weekday donations started before noon can be picked up the same day; otherwise, we schedule the next business day. You’ll get a guaranteed written tax receipt after your vehicle sells, usually within 30 days, covering IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.
Here’s how it works for New Orleans donors: you tell us your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Mid-City, Gentilly, Algiers, the French Quarter, Uptown, the Marigny, Bywater, New Orleans East, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, or elsewhere in Greater New Orleans. We arrange free towing, including flatbed service if your car doesn’t run, and you don’t need to handle repairs or inspections. On pickup day, the driver handles the title transfer paperwork with you, and your driveway or street spot is quickly cleared. Your donated vehicle then supports Heritage for the Blind, a registered 501(c)(3) helping people who are blind or visually impaired.
