    Wheels 4 Hope

    Did you know that Open Door Mission accepts donated vehicles?

    When you donate a vehicle you are providing a huge blessing for an Open Door Mission program graduate and their family!

    Will you prayerfully consider donating a running vehicle to Open Door Mission?

    Vehicles can be donated at the Timberlake Outreach Center or any of our three Family Outreach/Donation Centers (Council Bluffs, Elkhorn, South Omaha). For more information about vehicle donation, contact Amy Harvey at(402) 829-1511 or wheels4hope@opendoormission.org

    Due to the rising costs in fuel, transportation barriers, lack of storage costs, Open Door Mission can no longer accept mattresses and will no longer schedule pick-ups of furniture in the community.
