New Britain Car Donation In CT Benefits Children's Wish & Hospital Charities

Wheels For Wishes is a trusted nonprofit vehicle donation program Stamford Hospital Foundation - Pediatrics. We make it completely free and easy to donate your car, truck, boat, RV, or just about any other vehicle — and our friendly team takes care of everything for you.

Ready to donate? Call 1-888-689-9474 or fill out our online donation form below to get started today.

Here's what you get when you donate:

  • Free towing — we come to you, anywhere in Connecticut
  • Great tax deduction — we are a fully registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit
  • Convenient donation process — our team is here to guide you through every step and answer any questions you have
  • Real impact — proceeds benefit Stamford Hospital Foundation - Pediatrics
  • Most vehicles accepted — running or not, on a case-by-case basis

All you need is an unwanted vehicle to make a real difference for children's charities. Your vehicle donation to Wheels For Wishes may not seem like much to you — but it generates real, meaningful funding for Stamford Hospital Foundation - Pediatrics.

We pick up vehicles in New Britain, Norwalk, Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Bridgeport, and all over Connecticut, and the proceeds go to help kids in need.

Donate Your Car In New Britain To Benefit Children In Need

New Britain is a wonderful place to live and grow up — a proud, hardworking community with a rich history, Walnut Hill Park, and a central location that puts all of Connecticut within easy reach. Children like those here deserve every opportunity to simply be kids. Your car donation helps fund the important programs of children's charities that make that possible.

How New Britain Car Donation Benefits You

The benefits of donating your car to Wheels For Wishes don't stop at supporting children's charities. Your car donation benefits you too.

The time always comes when a vehicle becomes unwanted. Whether you upgraded to something more fuel-efficient to fully enjoy everything beautiful Connecticut has to offer, or your vehicle simply got old, you have about four options: sell it, store it, fix it, or donate it.

Selling is a hassle, and haggling rarely goes in your favor. Storing wastes space, and the value of your vehicle will diminish over time — especially through New Britain winters. Fixing an unwanted car, boat, RV, trailer, Jet Ski, or any other vehicle is rarely worth the cost.

Donating to Wheels For Wishes, on the other hand, has real value for you:

  • We tow away your car for free and come to you anywhere in Connecticut.
  • You receive a 100 percent tax-deductible receipt with your donation — your vehicle will not go without giving you something in return.
  • Our convenient donation process takes care of everything — our experienced team is here to guide you and answer any questions you have.
  • Your donation supports Stamford Hospital Foundation - Pediatrics and makes a genuine impact in kids' lives.

How New Britain Car Donation Works With Wheels For Wishes

Before you decide to donate, you may want to understand exactly how the process works — and we welcome that. Transparency is something we take seriously at Wheels For Wishes.

Here is how your New Britain car donation works from start to finish:

  • You decide to donate and call 1-888-689-9474 or use our easy online donation form.
  • If we accept your vehicle in New Britain or anywhere in Hartford County and throughout Connecticut, we move on to the next step.
  • We contact you within 24 hours of the next business day to arrange free pickup for your vehicle donation.
  • Depending on which option generates the most value, our program auctions or recycles your vehicle.
  • Our experienced team works hard to get the maximum value from every donation — because a stronger return means a better tax deduction for you and more funding for children's charities.
  • If your vehicle sells for under $500, you can claim the fair market value up to $500.
  • If your vehicle sells for more, your tax deduction reflects the actual sale value.
  • After the process is complete, we mail your tax receipt — ready to use at tax season.
