How we started
TuneIn Rides sprang to life in the heart of Nashville, born from the realization that many of our neighbors were missing out on vital resources. Our founders, fueled by a passion for community, discovered that eligible individuals were often unaware of programs like SNAP and TennCare. This insight ignited the vision to create a local initiative that not only raises funds but also empowers residents to access the benefits they deserve.
By establishing a vehicle donation program, TuneIn Rides became a beacon of hope, linking the generosity of Nashville’s residents with the needs of those who are struggling. Each car donated not only supports our mission but also connects fellow neighbors to essential benefits like Families First and WIC. It’s more than just donating a car; it’s about uplifting the community we hold dear.
Our mission
At TuneIn Rides, our mission is to bridge the gap between Nashville's residents and the essential benefits programs they are eligible for. We aim to connect neighbors with opportunities like LIHEAP, Families First, and WIC, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive. Through our vehicle donation program, we are able to fund a free benefits-research service that empowers individuals to find and enroll in programs that can make a real difference in their lives. Together, we’re building a stronger, more informed Nashville.
