Donate your car or pickup

Turn your old car into your favorite WRIR programs! Since 2016, over forty listeners have donated their old cars and trucks to WRIR. Selling these vehicles raised over $12,500 for Richmond Independent Radio since 2018 alone. Your car does not have to be running to qualify. It just needs to have an engine and be towable.

A listener who donated her car in 2020 said, “I listen to WRIR almost every day and always wanted to chip in and support the station. Also, the donation process was simple, which helps.”
