Wheels Program of Greater New Milford

06/09/2026

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Thrift Mart of New Milford! Their ongoing support keeps The Wheels Program running... literally.

By helping us cover fuel costs, they ensure local seniors and individuals with disabilities never have to miss a medical appointment. This vital support allows our riders to live independently in their own homes while still accessing the care they need.

Thank you, Thrift Mart, for driving positive change in our community!

We are incredibly thrilled to announce that Walmart New Milford has awarded us a community grant to help cover our fuel and vehicle costs!

Reliable transportation is the backbone of what we do, allowing us to hit the road and serve our community every single day. This generous support ensures we can keep our wheels turning and direct even more resources toward our core mission.

A massive thank you to the team at the New Milford Walmart for investing in our community and driving us forward—literally! 💙

WOW. Our hearts (and our gas tanks) are full!

Because of you, we raised $2,290 from 47 donors during Give Local 2026!

These funds will go directly into maintaining our fleet and fueling the 2,100+ rides we provide annually. Thank you for showing up for our seniors and for believing in the power of independence. We couldn't do this without this amazing community!

Stay tuned for more updates from the road!

We are officially in the final stretch of Give Local 2026!

The impact of this community is incredible. In 2025, our volunteers drove nearly 22,000 miles to get our neighbors to their medical appointments. But those miles represent more than just transportation; they represent peace of mind for local families. By providing these rides, we ease the burden on caregivers and family members, knowing their loved ones are getting to critical treatments safely and reliably. 💙

We are currently 24% of the way to our $5,000 goal. Every gift is boosted by the Connecticut Community Foundation, so let’s finish strong for our riders and their families!

Keep the momentum going: https://www.givelocalccf.org/organizations/wheels-program-of-greater-new-milford-inc

Why do we do what we do? Because for many in the Greater New Milford area, we are the only way they can get to chemotherapy, dialysis, or routine doctor visits.

We hear it every day: "I don't know what I would do without you." Our clients don't just get a ride; they get to keep their independence, their dignity, and their health, all while staying in the comfort of their own homes. 🏠❤️

YOUR GIFT TODAY GOES EVEN FURTHER! Every donation gets us closer to our $5,000 goal and is boosted with additional funds from the Connecticut Community Foundation. Even a $10 donation is a huge support and gets us one step closer to ensuring no neighbor is left stranded.
