Are you an older adult, or do you know one that requires help getting to and from a medical, dental, or other essential healthcare appointment? Our Volunteer Transportation program provides free, personalized, and safe transportation to essential healthcare appointments.

The team consists of over 160 volunteers who dedicate their time to assisting older adults with limited transportation options. Our volunteer drivers are compassionate and patient, and will wait with the client until they are ready to return home. The older adults who use Volunteer Transportation are greatly appreciative for the helping hand and moral support.
