Volunteer drivers provide transportation for seniors to medical-related and other essential errands. Drivers can deduct their mileage from their taxes. Requires a vehicle conducive to transporting seniors and trunk or backseat space to accommodate a walker, if needed. Rides are scheduled each way (not round trip) so there is no waiting on the part of the driver. Trips are often short averaging 20 minutes to a half hour of the driver’s time.
Volunteer Driver's are used to help active older adults in the community attend local community events, classes, medical appointments, and other social engagements. Our focus is to combat social isolation and to promote community by getting seniors where they want to go. Our riders do not require assistance getting from their homes to the car or from the car to their destination.
