Get Ready for Spring Cleaning -- Donate Your Old, Unwanted Vehicle

Now that March has arrived, many households turn their attention to Spring cleaning. The snow is off the ground, the daffodils are popping up and now you wonder what to do with that old, unwanted car, boat, RV or motorcycle just sitting out there in your yard or garage.

Maybe you thought you would sell it. Maybe you planned to fix it or restore it. Now you wonder how to get rid of it!

You can give back to your community and make a big difference in the life of a child by donating your unwanted vehicle to Donate Cars 4 Wishes which benefits Make-A-Wish Connecticut.

DC4W contributes funds from your donated vehicle to help grant wishes for children who are facing life-threatening medical conditions. You will receive a tax deduction on your 2016 income taxes by donating an unwanted vehicle – whether it’s running or not -- and your donated car, boat, motorcycle or RV will help Make-A-Wish Connecticut make more wishes come true!

It is easy to help grant the wishes of children facing life-threatening illnesses:

1) Fill out a donation form online at www.dc4w.org or call 24/7 at (844)WISH-123

2) DC4W will call the donor on the same or the next business day to schedule pick-up

3) In 2-3 weeks the donor will receive their tax-deduction receipt in the mail

It’s easy to be an ‘everyday hero’ by donating your vehicle to benefit Connecticut children because it really is as simple as a phone call or a quick visit online!
