Support Red Mile, Lexington Families with Your Car Donation

Join your neighbors in making a difference—donate your vehicle today and help families in Red Mile access essential services.

Red Mile is a bustling neighborhood that beautifully marries the excitement of horse racing with the everyday charm of Lexington. Home to families and vibrant local businesses, it's a community where everyone knows their neighbors. Yet, many residents face challenges accessing critical resources like Kentucky Medicaid. By donating your vehicle, you can make a significant impact right here.

Whether you're downsizing from a home on S. Broadway or moving away from the iconic Red Mile racetrack, your car can help bridge the gap for families in need. With streets like E. High and W. Main filled with unique shops and services, your contribution will not only assist individuals but also strengthen our community by keeping it vibrant and connected.

Inheriting a vehicle can be a blessing, but if you lack parking space, consider donating it. Your generous act will go a long way in supporting local families.
