Volunteer with CarFit (55+) - Help Older Drivers Find Their Car's Safest Fit
ORGANIZATION: Volunteers of America-MN--RSVP
Please visit the new page to apply.
CarFit is a free, fun event designed to improve safety and comfort for older drivers. Trained volunteers walk through a 12-point checklist with drivers to ensure their vehicle's adjustable safety features, such as mirrors, seatbelts, lights, and air bag placement, are the safest "fit" for the driver. Drivers leave their 20-minute appointment with recommended adjustments and adaptations, a list of local resources, and greater peace of mind.
This event will take place Tuesday, June 19th, 1pm-3pm at Masonic Home Bloomington. Additional CarFit events will be held at various locations across the Metro and East Central MN from May-September 2018.
