At Valor Wheels, we believe in the power of giving back to our community. Our partnership with United Way allows employees to make a difference through workplace-giving campaigns, where your contributions directly support local initiatives that uplift education, health, and financial stability. By participating in this campaign, your donations can have a significant impact on those in need right here in Albuquerque.
During the annual campaign, typically held from September to November, employees can opt for payroll deductions or make one-time gifts, including vehicle donations. When you donate your vehicle, it benefits our local United Way chapter, enhancing various programs while providing you with a 1098-C tax receipt. Plus, if your employer matches donations, your giving power is multiplied even further!
