What happens to my vehicle after I donate it?
After you donate your vehicle, it undergoes a thorough inspection. If it's in good condition, we may put it up for sale through local auto auctions or repairs.

How can I use the benefits finder offered by Wheels to Worth?
Using our benefits finder is simple! After your vehicle donation, you’ll receive access to our online platform. Input your household details, income, and needs. The finder will then suggest various Arizona programs you may qualify for, like AHCCCS for health coverage, Nutrition Assistance for food security, and LIHEAP for utility assistance. It’s designed to help you find the best available resources in your area.

What is LIHEAP and who qualifies for it?
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps eligible families pay their energy bills, keeping them safe and warm during extreme temperatures.
