About

Drive2Mercy was founded by actress and UCLA graduate, Riley Go.During the pandemic in 2020, Riley got her driver’s permit and found a renewed sense of purpose. She practiced driving by picking up donations from friends/neighbors decluttering their homes, and dropping off the items at Mercy Warehouse. This win-win idea inspired her to start D2M.---
D2M is advised by Joni Finkle. In her 20-year+ career in the automotive industry, Joni has held executive marketing roles at Honda, Hyundai, and Mazda and written extensively about what motivates consumers to buy cars.Updated 2026
