In a city where public transportation is so readily available, why hold onto a vehicle that hardly gets used? Instead, donate it to a great cause and also contribute to the green movement at the same time.

Including Central New York, Hudson Valley, North East New York, and Metro New York.

We offer free pickup in any part of New York. Unlike many other nonprofits, we are a registered 501(c)(3) charity with the IRS. That means you'll be eligible for a tax deduction. All you need to donate is the VIN number, and most likely a title.

Our Mission

Wheels For Wishes believes that every child, no matter his or her health, deserves a chance to have a happy and fulfilling childhood. By donating your vehicle, we are able to raise funds to support Make-A-Wish chapters in locations throughout the country, helping grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. A wish is an opportunity for a child to focus on something other than their medical routines, and be a kid again.

$109,284,352

As of August 2023, based on the average cost of a wish, donors like you have helped Wheels for Wishes to grant more than 13,218 wishes and counting.
