The Refugee Resettlement Coordinating Team is looking for volunteer drivers. Although our family now has a car, we still have weekday driving needs while the father is at work—taking the mother to pick up the three-year-old from a local nursery school on weekdays and occasional trips to medical appointments. Whether you are available on a regular basis, or only occasionally, we would appreciate any help you can provide.
