Community Service Vehicle Donations: Driving Opportunity
Travelers is proud to partner with Recycled Rides®, a program managed by the National Auto Body Council that brings together insurers, auto repair shops and community members to donate refurbished vehicles to those without reliable transportation. Since 2009, the company has donated 64 vehicles to individuals and organizations, including U.S. veterans and active military members, educational institutions and community organizations.
In 2023, Travelers donated 12 vehicles through the Recycled Rides program, benefiting veterans and families in need.
In addition, Travelers donated a van to Hands on Hartford to help the organization transport meals and other necessities for people dealing with homelessness and food insecurity in Hartford.
