Escorted Rides by Caring Volunteers
Seniors maintaining their independence is crucial for healthy and active aging. A big part of independence is transportation. This program offers non-driving homebound seniors and disabled Lake County residents rides by caring volunteers.
Volunteer Drivers go through an interview, background screening, and training.
Note: rides are available depending on the availability of a volunteer driver and vehicle on the day and time that the rider needs it. Anytime the program staff can match a volunteer driver with a rider’s request, the ride will be provided.
