United Way Seeks Volunteer Drivers to Support Local Seniors

​United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties is calling on community members to become volunteer drivers and help seniors in Madison County maintain their independence.

With a growing need for transportation services, the program offers a rewarding opportunity for volunteers to assist older adults in getting to critical destinations such as medical appointments, grocery stores, and community centers. Volunteers can choose their own schedule and receive mileage reimbursement for their time on the road.

Becoming a driver is simple — volunteers must be 21 or older, have a valid driver's license, auto insurance, and pass a background check.

The program not only helps reduce social isolation among seniors but also connects volunteers with meaningful ways to give back. As one local organizer says, "It's not just a ride — it’s a lifeline."

If you're interested in making a difference and would like to become a volunteer driver, contact United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties by calling 937-324-5551 or visiting www.uwccmc.org.
