Let's Take Even More People Home!

Free Ride Fundraiser Launched

It’s taken an entire summer to set up a fundraiser to expand our free ride service. Here it is!

But wait, there’s more! We gathered up 11 volunteers who've helped give free rides and made a second video of them sharing their favorite “stories from the road.” Check it out.

Both of these videos point to our new fundraising website. This page is live, ready to receive tax-deductible donations, and contains additional details about the fundraiser. Visit RM’s free ride fundraising page at: donate.theredemptionmovement.org/free-ride-oneonta 

And that’s not all. To get the giving train started, we’ve received an anonymous matching gift of $750. So whatever is given right out of the gate will be doubled!

Our starting goal for this fundraiser is $9,000. This will enable us to get 2 of our cars on the road AND give us access to rent cars from Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Anything beyond that will go towards purchasing a van, renting additional vehicles, and improving the free ride service even more--so we can take more people home. Ever since we started giving rides, people have asked, “How can I help?” This is your chance.
