Donate for Wildfire Recovery in Tulsa

The recent wildfires in Tulsa have severely affected hundreds of families, leaving them without homes or means of transportation. As these families begin the long and difficult journey of recovery, your support can make a significant difference. Tulsa Auto Bridge is dedicated to ensuring that these families have the resources they need to rebuild their lives and their communities.

By donating a vehicle, you not only provide immediate assistance in transportation but also help fund long-term recovery efforts. This page will outline how your contributions are used to support displaced residents and fill crucial service gaps that arise through the recovery process. Together, we can help Tulsa rise from the ashes.

The need for support is immediate and ongoing, with many residents facing various challenges in rebuilding their lives. Ensuring these families have access to transportation and resources is critical in fostering sustained recovery and community resilience.
