THANK YOU!

The Wheels Program is a donation-based program providing transportation to seniors and individuals with disabilities in the Greater New Milford area to non-emergency medical, dental, and physical therapy appointments. WHEELS of Greater New Milford is a volunteer organization that provides rides to non-emergency medical appointments for seniors and residents with disabilities

WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT! WHEELS operates on a donation basis run by volunteer drivers and gladly accept donations to offset costs of vehicle gas, maintenance, repairs, insurance, and office phones. We ask that you schedule your New Milford appointments at least a week in advance and two weeks in advance if your destination is outside of New Milford. You must be independently mobile or have a caregiver, friend or family member with you to assist as drivers cannot leave the vehicle unattended especially with other clients inside. We are always looking for volunteers to join our team of dedicated citizens. Please call our office if you are interested in helping your community!

*During inclement weather and unsafe road conditions, we may cancel our services and if the New Milford Public schools are closed, Wheels will not be operating. Wheels is also closed on Federal holidays.

What an incredible turnout for Tuesday’s New Milford nonprofit event! Thank you to the New Milford Senior Center for providing the event space and to Wheels Program of Greater New Milford, Greater New Milford Chamber of Commerce, and Connecticut Community Foundation for helping to make the event possible.

We spent the evening connecting with amazing local leaders and exploring new ways to uplift New Milford together. An additional huge thanks to Connecticut Community Foundation for sharing valuable insights on grants, training, and resources to help our local organizations thrive.

And of course, we couldn't drive collaboration on an empty stomach! Thank you to Alltown Fresh for treating us to their delicious gourmet catering, and Animal Welfare Society, Inc. for bringing the sweet treats to top off the night.
