Wheels for Wishes

Learn how donating your car can make a difference for kids battling critical illnesses. 

When you donate a car, truck, motorcycle, SUV, RV, or boat, we turn what you may see as used scrap of junk into a way to grant the one true wish of a local wish child. One man’s junk is another man’s gold (or another kids wish)! 

Your vehicle donation directly benefits the Make-A-Wish Metro New York and Western New York in creating the best possible wish experience for local children. We accept all vehicle donations in any condition, whether they are running or not! Our Car Donation Program offers: 

  • A convenient alternative to selling or trading in your automobile in a way that directly benefits your community 
  • Fast, free pick-up and towing from anywhere 
  • Professional service and an easy donation process 
  • Maximum possible charitable tax deduction
