ORGANIZATION: AROUND THE WAY HAVEN OF HOPE

image_20250528193946

Do you have some extra time available to assist senior citizens and people with visual impairments with transportation in your community?

Do you have a senior in your life that you want to help find a transportation solution for?

(Your service name), operating within (your service area), is looking for volunteer drivers to assist seniors for all types of transportation needs- medical appointments, shopping, social visits, and other outings. Volunteers are needed for all days and times, with the largest need being for day-time, week-day volunteers.

Benefits of becoming a volunteer driver

  1. You help seniors stay independent and healthy by taking them to visit friends, a hairdresser's appointment or a doctor's appointment

  2. You help make driving safer for everyone

  3. You provide a positive alternative to a huge national problem by ensuring that seniors have a great choice without burdening family or friends

  4. You get mileage reimbursement for part of the ride and transportation credits for the rest. Save these credits for your own future use, transfer them to a loved one or donate them to the Road Scholarship Program for low-income riders
