The Power of Giving:
RIDE (Reliable Independent Drivers for the Elderly) Program
|
|
Imagine you are an older or disabled adult, you no longer drive, and have few you can call on to help. You have vital monthly doctor's appointments and pharmacy visits, but no way to get there. You could call a cab or other car service, but your budget is tight as it is without adding a pricey cab fare every other week.
Our RIDE Program is a one-of-a-kind service that arranges round-trip rides to medical, grocery, and other essential appointments for qualifying, low-income seniors or disabled adults.
|
|
Here’s what our RIDE participants have to say… |
|
“I appreciate this service because I have no one to help me get to my medical appointments. Blessings and love for your help.”
“Thank you for all that you do!”
“Thank you so much for allowing me to use your very generous service.”
|
|
Not only does the RIDE Program address the gap in senior transportation needs in our community, but it increases independence, promotes well-being, and improves access to healthcare. |
|
RIDE continues to see a high demand.
Your gift right now can help us meet the increasing needs of our senior & disabled communities!
