If you’re ready to donate your car today in Fresno, you can start – and complete – your Cruz Fresno donation in just a few minutes. Fill out our secure 2-minute form or call to reach a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator (Monday–Saturday). In most Fresno Metro areas, including Tower District, River Park, Sunnyside, West Fresno, and Clovis, we can arrange same-day pickup when you contact us before noon on a weekday, or the next business day at the latest.
Here’s how it works in Fresno: you call or submit the form, and a live coordinator with Heritage for the Blind confirms your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location – whether you’re near Fresno State, downtown, Fig Garden, Northwest Fresno, or out toward Sanger or Madera. We schedule a free tow that fits your day, using flatbed trucks for non-running vehicles. You sign the title at pickup, your driveway is cleared, and your vehicle is sold to support services for people who are blind or visually impaired. Within about 30 days of sale, you receive a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098-C rules for deductions over $500.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day Fresno pickup in most metro areas
When you call before noon on a weekday, most Fresno Metro locations – including downtown, Sunnyside, River Park, and Clovis – can be scheduled for same-day towing. Later calls are usually set for the next business day, so you aren’t left waiting.
2-minute start: form or phone
The entire donation starts with a quick 2-minute step. Either submit the simple online form or call to speak directly with Heritage for the Blind. You’ll know right away what your pickup window looks like and what to expect next in Fresno.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to review your vehicle, verify your Fresno location, and dispatch a tow. That means you can move from “I’m ready today” to having a scheduled pickup in just one call, even on a busy weekday.
Non-running cars and flat tires are OK
Your vehicle does not need to run, pass smog, or even start. Free flatbed service is available for cars that are wrecked, dead, or have flat tires, as long as a truck can safely reach them where they sit in Fresno Metro or nearby towns.
No inspection or repairs required
You don’t have to fix anything or arrange a pre-inspection. Just describe the condition honestly during your call. The tow partner handles loading and transport, and Heritage for the Blind manages the sale and documentation for your tax receipt.
