There is a "Wheel Need" for Volunteer Drivers!

Ride Connection serves as your neighborhood transportation resource for older adults and people with disabilities. Last year the organization provided over 400,000 rides for its customer base at no cost to these individuals who use this service for getting to life-sustaining appointments and life-enhancing activities. Nonetheless, 24,882 ride requests were turned down due to the lack of drivers. You can make a difference! Join hundreds of volunteers who are offering to drive older adults and those with disabilities throughout the tri-county area by using their own wheels (and vehicles). The needs are huge and the rewards are even greater! For more information call Ride Connection at 503.528.1738 or go to the Ride Connection Network at: iwanttodrive.org. To request a ride please call 503.226.0700.
