Wheels for the World

Wheels for the World (WFTW) provides the gifts of mobility as well as hope of the gospel to those affected by disability worldwide. People with limited mobility are often isolated because they have no way of moving around. Receiving a wheelchair allows them to become part of their communities, changing their lives forever. First Congregational Church of Cromwell (FCC) has been a proud supporter of Wheels for the World for many years.

The WFTW team travels all over Connecticut collecting devices which then are stored in a donated warehouse. Periodically, Joni & Friends sends a tractor trailer to pick them up for refurbishing. FCC has collected over 3,000 wheelchairs since 2018!

What can be donated?
Locally, there is a drop-off site at the Cromwell Municipal Recycling Center on County Line Road. WFTW accepts manual wheelchairs, folding aluminum walkers, metal crutches, canes and wheelchair parts. Sadly, we are unable to take wooden devices as the humidity and insect infestation in some locations make unsuitable conditions for wood. We also cannot accept electric wheelchairs or scooters, or other medical devices, but can direct you to someone who may.

If you or someone you know has equipment to donate, call us. We can arrange to have the equipment picked up, and tax receipts can be provided. We do not loan out wheelchairs, walkers, etc. but can direct you to a local organization that may be able to help you.
