Keeping Our Community Moving: The Wheels Program

Based on the historical New Milford Green, The Wheels Program is a lifeline for our neighbors. We provide free donation-based transportation for seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout the Greater New Milford area, ensuring they never miss critical medical care, from routine medical, dental, and physical therapy appointments to life-saving therapies such as dialysis and cancer treatments.

Why Your Support Matters

For many of our clients, a ride isn't just a convenience, it is independence. In an area where comparable free services are non-existent, we ensure that health and accessibility are never out of reach. By removing the barrier of transportation, we ensure no neighbor has to choose between their budget and their health.

What Makes Us Unique?

We don’t believe your healthcare should be limited by town lines.


  • Going the Distance: We are the only free service in the area that transports clients to specialized facilities as far as New York and Yale New Haven.


  • Barrier-Free Access: While donations are vital to our survival, no client is ever required to pay. We serve everyone, regardless of their financial situation.


The Team Behind the Wheel

Wheels is powered by a small, dedicated staff and an incredible crew of 25+ volunteer drivers. From scheduling to vehicle maintenance, our team is committed to more than just transport. We provide meaningful human interaction and a friendly face during what can often be stressful medical journeys.


How Your Donation Drives Change

While we work hard to secure grants, we simply cannot exist without your support. Our goal is to remove all financial burdens from both our clients and our volunteers.

When you give, your donation directly provides:

  • 🚗 The Vehicles: We maintain a safe, reliable fleet so that our clients have comfortable and accessible transportation for every trip.

  • ⛽ The Fuel: We cover 100% of the gas costs, ensuring that even long-distance journeys to New York or New Haven are never a financial strain.

  • 🛡️ The Insurance: We provide comprehensive insurance for our fleet and volunteers, giving our drivers and passengers total peace of mind.

  • By providing the vehicles, fuel, and insurance, we ensure that the only thing our volunteers have to give is their time.

    Your contribution, no matter the size, keeps our wheels turning. Thank you for helping us drive our community toward a healthier, more connected future.
