…I strongly feel that without this program many of our Seniors, and Adults with special needs would be without transportation. Family members and friends can only do so much to cover these needs.

In my observation and conversations I have come to the conclusion that many of our clients, if able to drive would be drivers for RAFT. They have a first-hand knowledge of what it is like to be without transportation.

They have a first-hand knowledge of what it is like to be without transportation. Sometimes, in a joking way, we RAFT volunteer drivers say that we drive because we could some day be riders.

I think all people who still drive and have some free time should consider driving for the RAFT program. At least give it a try. Remember this program is neighbor helping neigh-bor. You should be the neighbor helping until you are the neighbor who needs help. A person doesn’t need to drive but a few times before they understand why they are helping with this service!
