The full process
Reach Out to Us
Start your journey by giving us a call or filling out our online form. Our local team in New Orleans is ready to help you with any questions you have about the donation process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. We’ll ask for some basic details about your vehicle, so we can assess how it can best serve our community.
Share Vehicle Details
Once you've contacted us, we’ll need specifics about your car: the make, model, year, and condition are essential for our records. Whether it’s a vintage ride or a more recent model, every car has the potential to help fund important local research services to help our fellow New Orleanians access government benefits.
Schedule Your Pickup
After gathering the necessary details, we’ll coordinate with you to schedule a convenient pickup time. Our amazing local drivers know the city like the back of their hand, ensuring that the process fits smoothly into your life. Whether you live in the French Quarter or out in Metairie, we’ll make it work!
Grab Your Keys
On the day of pickup, our friendly team will arrive at your specified location, ready to take your donation. Make sure to have the keys and any paperwork handy. It’s a quick and hassle-free process you can feel good about, knowing your vehicle is being put to good use for the community.
Transportation of Your Vehicle
Our team will transport your vehicle to a trusted location where it can be evaluated. Here in New Orleans, we value our unique rides and make sure each one is treated with respect. Whether it’s being auctioned or recycled, you can trust that it’s in good hands and will contribute positively to the funding of local research services.
Auction or Recycling
Your vehicle will either be auctioned off to the highest bidder or recycled responsibly, depending on its condition. The proceeds from these sales go directly towards supporting our mission to help locals access important benefits programs like Healthy Louisiana and LIHEAP. Every donation truly counts!
Proceeds to Research
The funds generated from your vehicle donation go to our research services that aid fellow New Orleanians in navigating programs designed to help families in need. By donating, you're playing a crucial role in ensuring our community is supported and informed about available resources.
Receive Your Tax Receipt
Within two weeks, you’ll receive a tax receipt by mail detailing your generous donation. This receipt can help with your tax filings and serves as a reminder of the positive impact you’ve made. This is our way of saying thank you for caring about your community and making a difference!
