Wheels for Warmth

Wheels for Warmth is a used tire collection to raise funds for emergency heating assistance

The 2026 Wheels for Warmth event returns Thursday, October 29 through Saturday, October 31, 2026.  SEVCA will have a collection site at 91 Buck Drive, Westminster, VT. Thursday October 29th and 30th  from 1- 5 pm. If you would like to volunteer with SEVCA please reach out to Jon at SEVCA jmegasrussell@sevca.org or 802-721-0017

For information about this year's event, visit the Wheels for Warmth Website, here. More information will be shared in early September.

Established in 2005, Wheels for Warmth has three goals: 

  1. Raise funds for emergency heating assistance distributed through five Vermont Community Action Agencies-CVOEO, Capstone, BROC, NEKC, and SEVCA.
  2. Create a resource of DMV-inspected tires that are safe for at least one season of use and can be sold to Vermonters at affordable prices.
  3. Provide a convenient, inexpensive way to dispose of unwanted tires-reducing the number discarded in rivers, along roadways, or in other improper locations.

For event information, visit the Wheels for Warmth Website.

Used tires are collected at various locations around Vermont during the month of October. They are inspected by DMV officials at donation drop-off locations in across the state, including additional, non-DMV locations as well. Tires that pass inspection are then sold to the public, with proceeds supporting the Warmth Support Program.
