Martha’s Place is a recovery program for women overcoming drug addiction and homelessness that offers both a six-month transitional phase as well as a long-term independent housing phase. The program helps women achieve sobriety while maintaining a job and housing and serves approximately 50 women per year.
We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to be responsible for providing safe and efficient transportation services for its clients on an on-call basis. Volunteers will be asked to transport clients safely and responsibly for their various needs. We would work with you to find a shift that fits in your time frame, and if any of our clients had transportation needs during that shift, we would contact you about our client's needs so you could transport them to the necessary destination. Volunteering in this way would be a huge service to our program.
Volunteers must be 19 or older, have a current, valid driver's license and carry a minimum amount of car insurance. Background checks must be completed, and training will be provided.
