We are seeking volunteer drivers to transport Knox County seniors and people with disabilities. Help a senior with door-through-door transportation assistance to the grocery store, medical appointments, and other fun activities. Volunteers use program vehicles (and gas!) to assist people who might otherwise not be able to leave their homes.
Stay with the client, support and help them at destinations and back to their residence.
