How we started
RideRebirth was born in the heart of Seattle, sparked by a deep understanding of our community's needs. The founders, local residents, noticed too many neighbors struggling to access vital support programs like Basic Food and Apple Health. Despite eligibility, many were unaware of the resources available to them. This realization ignited our mission: to bridge that gap by connecting individuals with the essential services they deserve.
By leveraging the power of vehicle donation as our funding model, we created a sustainable way to support our community. Every car donated fuels our research efforts, allowing us to identify and connect eligible residents with programs such as WorkFirst, WIC, and LIHEAP. We believe that every vehicle has the potential to change lives, and together, we can enhance the quality of life for those around us.
Our mission
At RideRebirth, our mission is to empower Seattle residents by connecting them with essential benefits programs that enhance their well-being. We are dedicated to providing personalized support to navigate a range of services, including Basic Food, Apple Health, WorkFirst, WIC, and LIHEAP. Through our innovative vehicle donation program, we secure funding to research and promote these critical resources for our neighbors. Together, we strive to create a healthier, more informed, and equitable Seattle for everyone.

Why this city
Seattle is a vibrant city with diverse neighborhoods and rich cultural heritage, but many residents face challenges accessing essential benefits. Areas like South Seattle and Rainier Valley have higher populations of eligible individuals who remain unenrolled in programs like WIC and LIHEAP. Our mission focuses on these gaps, where countless families are unaware of the help available to them. By concentrating our efforts in Seattle, we aim to lift up our neighbors and enhance community resilience, ensuring everyone has the resources to thrive.
