How does it work?

Chariot volunteer drivers use their own cars to provide seniors door-to-door rides to medical appointments, grocery stores, hair appointments, pharmacies, banks, activity centers, support groups, and other errands. Typically a round trip takes 2-3 hours; a one-way drop off is about an hour.

VOLUNTEER DRIVING IS EASY!

  • Minimum requirement is 1 drive per month (Most volunteers enjoy the experience and do more!)
  • Drivers select rides to fit their own schedules
  • Rides can be set up by phone or email
  • Family members of any age are encouraged to ride along
