How we started
WheelWise was born in the heart of New Hampshire, where the spirit of community is as strong as the granite that shapes our landscape. It all began in a small town coffee shop when a group of concerned residents recognized a troubling trend: many neighbors were eligible for vital benefits, like SNAP and NH Medicaid, but remained unenrolled. This lack of awareness led to discussions about how to bridge that gap, and the idea of a vehicle donation program emerged as a sustainable solution.
By harnessing the generosity of our community, WheelWise could transform unwanted vehicles into resources that directly fund a comprehensive benefits-research service. Every car donation became a ticket to empowerment, providing local residents with the information they need to access crucial services that support their well-being. Thus, WheelWise became a beacon of hope for many across our beautiful state.
