The full process
Inquire About Donation
Your journey begins with a simple inquiry. Reach out to us through our website or give us a call to let us know you're ready to donate your vehicle. We'll guide you through the entire process and answer any questions you may have about how your donation supports Fort Lauderdale residents in need.
Provide Vehicle Details
Once you reach out, we'll ask for some details about your vehicle, such as the make, model, year, and condition. Don’t worry if your car has some wear and tear; we accept vehicles in various conditions! This step helps us prepare for the best way to handle your donation.
Schedule Pickup
Next up is scheduling your vehicle pickup. We offer flexible options tailored to fit your busy schedule here in Fort Lauderdale. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, we’ll work to find the perfect time for you. Our team will give you a call to confirm the details and answer any remaining questions.
Pickup Day Arrives
On your scheduled pickup day, our professional team will arrive to tow your vehicle at no cost to you. You can say goodbye to your vehicle knowing that it will soon help Fort Lauderdale families access vital resources. We'll handle everything so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful Florida sun.
Transport Your Vehicle
Your vehicle will be safely transported to a local auction or recycling facility, supporting our goal of sustainability and community assistance. We ensure that every car is handled responsibly to maximize the donation potential and minimize any environmental impact.
Auction or Recycling Process
Once your car arrives at the facility, it will either be auctioned to the highest bidder or recycled for parts. Each decision is made to ensure that the proceeds go directly toward funding our benefit-research services for Fort Lauderdale residents. Your donation will enable individuals to access crucial support services they need.
Proceeds for Research
After the auction or recycling, the proceeds generated from your vehicle will be allocated to our benefits-research service. This ensures that we continue providing free assistance to our neighbors who may not know about available resources like Florida Medicaid or WIC.
Receive Tax Receipt
We’ll send you a tax-deductible receipt in the mail, which you can utilize for your tax purposes. This documentation shows your generous contribution and allows you to benefit while giving back to our Fort Lauderdale community.
