About Wheels For Wishes Connecticut
Our car donation program, Wheels For Wishes Connecticut, benefits local children facing critical illness through Make-A-Wish Connecticut. The funds from your donated cars go toward granting the life-changing wishes of local Make-A-Wish kids from Connecticut. When you donate, you bring joy and hope directly to children who need it most.
Wheels For Wishes Connecticut is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donated vehicle earns you a tax deduction, while also helping children experience hope and joy. That’s why so many families across Connecticut decide to donate a car instead of selling or scrapping.

About Vehicles For Veterans Connecticut
We also have a nonprofit 501(c)(3) car donation organization benefiting U.S. veterans called Vehicles For Veterans Connecticut. Vehicle donations to Vehicles For Veterans in Connecticut benefit American veteran charity programs including K9s For Warriors, Bob Woodruff Foundation, and many charities that help veterans nationally.
Vehicles For Veterans benefits over 25 American veteran charities across the United States. These trusted charities benefit veterans in a variety of ways including housing, adaptive equipment, service animals, community involvement, mental health services, transportation and more! Many of these programs also provide crucial support for disabled veterans who face ongoing challenges. Every time you donate a car, you play a role in making these services possible.
