The full process

Day 1

Inquiry About Donation

It all starts with your inquiry! Reach out to Arkansas Auto Bridge, and our friendly team will guide you through the vehicle donation process. You can call us or fill out our simple online form.

Gather Vehicle Details

Next, we’ll need some details about your vehicle. This includes the make, model, year, and condition. Providing clear and accurate information helps us determine the best path for your donation. We appreciate Arkansas residents for their honesty and willingness to help others; every detail can enhance the impact of your gift!
