Support Albany Park, Albany by Donating Your Vehicle Today!

Join your neighbors in transforming lives in Albany Park through vehicle donations—every car counts towards creating opportunities for local families.

Albany Park is a vibrant neighborhood filled with families, parks, and a strong sense of community. Many residents cherish the area's green spaces, like Lincoln Park or the scenic Albany Pine Bush, where children play and neighbors gather. However, life sometimes leads to tough decisions, like downsizing or letting go of an older vehicle. When that time comes, donating your car to Capital Wheels is a meaningful choice that enriches our community.

Residents often find themselves moving within Albany Park, whether from a bustling street like Central Avenue or the quieter corners near the Normanskill Creek. Donating an unused or unwanted vehicle not only clears up valuable space but also ensures that the funds generated from your donation directly support local programs that provide essential benefits to Albany Park families in need.
