The full process
Inquiry About Donation
Get started by reaching out to us through our website or phone. We’re here to answer all your questions about the donation process. Our friendly team in Detroit will explain how your vehicle can make a real difference in the community. Don’t hesitate to ask about the various programs your donation will support!
Provide Vehicle Details
Once you've expressed your interest, we’ll need some details about your vehicle. This includes the make, model, year, and condition. We'll ensure that your donation is valuable for local residents while discussing how it fits into our mission to connect people with essential services in Detroit.
Schedule a Pickup
After gathering your vehicle information, we’ll work with you to set a pickup date that’s convenient for you. Whether you're in the heart of downtown or in the neighborhoods, our local team will ensure that the pickup is hassle-free, allowing you to focus on more important matters.
Car Pickup
On the scheduled day, our trusted team will arrive at your location to pick up your vehicle. We’re proud to serve all areas of Detroit, making this process easy and convenient. Just hand over the keys, and we’ll take care of the rest, allowing you to feel good about your contribution to the community.
Transport the Vehicle
Once picked up, your vehicle will be safely transported to our local facility. We prioritize efficiency and care in handling every donation, ensuring that each car is set for its next purpose—whether that’s resale or recycling in a way that benefits the environment and community alike.
Auction or Recycling
Your donated vehicle will either be auctioned to generate funds or recycled in an eco-friendly manner. The proceeds from the sale directly support our free benefits-research services, helping Detroit residents access programs like Food Assistance and WIC, making your gift even more impactful.
Receive Tax Receipt
After the sale of your vehicle, we’ll send you a tax receipt in the mail. This not only provides you with a deduction on your tax return but also shows how your contribution is actively supporting fellow Detroiters. We make sure you have all the necessary documentation for your records.
Follow-Up
About a month after your donation, we’ll check in with you to see how your experience was. We value your feedback as it helps us improve our services and deepen our impact in the Detroit community. Together, we can ensure that every donation leads to greater support for our neighbors.
