Volunteer drivers
needed for New
Accessible Van
Program
Are you looking for a worthwhile way to spend your extra time? Would you like knowing that what you do helps seniors and other people with special needs attend much-needed health care visits? Please consider the following volunteer opportunity:
The Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board / Area Agency on Aging has been awarded a handicapaccessible van (Care-A-Van) through a Federal Transit Administration grant to assist seniors and persons with special needs. The plan is to have Care-A- Van available in each county a certain time each month. This service will be available for any type of health care appointment, to include crossing county lines within the five-county area. If no appointments are scheduled on a given day, senior center participants can use the service for trips to the post office, banks, pharmacies, and grocery stores.
We are looking for people age 21 or older with a good driving record and a willingness to help. Training will be provided by our agency's Transit Department, and radio communication will always be available.
This service is designed to help our citizens maintain something that is priceless to them—their independence.
We are planning an info session and training for those interested in Care-A-Van on Friday, March 28, 1-3 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library.
For more information, please call Lola Walker at 540825-3100 ext. 3358.
