The Faith in Action Transportation Program links volunteers to elderly homebound individuals who need a ride, temporarily or long-term, to a medical appointment, dentist, pharmacy, laboratory, or grocery shopping. The volunteers, seniors ages 55+, drive clients only when available, and the Transportation Specialist always tries to match the volunteer with a client who lives in the same zip code.
