Kidney Cars Vehicle Donation Program
Turn your vehicle into cash for the National Kidney Foundation Serving Connecticut! Vehicles donated to National Kidney Foundation have the potential to bring hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars in support of advocating for all kidney patients through education, research, and innovation. Donating is simple, the pick-up is free, and your gift is tax-deductible. Donate online or call 800.488.CARS (2277).
Your Kidneys and You
Your Kidneys & You is an educational program on kidneys, risk factors and preventative action steps, with a focus on where to turn for more information. You can request a Your Kidneys & You presentation for your workplace, civic organization, school, club or place of worship.
Eating Right
For people with chronic kidney disease at any stage, understanding how nutrition can affect their health is critical. Kidney health care professionals can help by providing important support and education about dietary requirements and modifications that could potentially slow the progression of kidney disease and improve overall health outcomes.
