Become a Volunteer Driver — Every Ride Has a Story!
When Mary lost her husband, she also lost her only ride to her doctor’s appointments. That is, until Tom volunteered to drive her. Now, every other Tuesday morning, they chat about family, gardening, and the latest local news on the way to her cancer treatments. For Mary, it’s more than transportation—it’s friendship and independence. For Tom, it’s the best part of his week.
Our Volunteer Driver Program depends on caring individuals like Tom. Volunteer drivers provide non-emergency rides for seniors and adults with disabilities—helping them get to medical appointments and back home safely. Each trip helps someone stay healthy, connected, and independent.
Each ride is more than just a trip; it’s a lifeline that helps clients stay connected to their doctors, their community, and their independence.
Volunteers choose how often they drive—once a week, once a month, or on call—and assignments are typically just part of a day (morning or afternoon). We work with your schedule and offer a mileage stipend. Some trips are shorter in Ashland County, others are longer - to Duluth or Ironwood.
Volunteer drivers use their own reliable vehicle and must maintain a valid driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance on file with our agency. If you have a reliable car and a few hours to spare, you can make a real difference—one ride, one smile, one story at a time.
Join our cause, be that difference, and make a new connection. Call us today for more information - 715-682-4414 ext 0.
