Volunteer drivers are needed to give safe rides to older adults and adults with disabilities for medical appointments, grocery shopping or other essential errands, worship services, and social outings. When you volunteer to drive for one of the participating programs below, you view and accept ride requests online, at your convenience, and give only the rides that work for you. It's very easy and rewarding, and every ride helps.
JCA's VillageRides supports the following volunteer transportation programs in Montgomery County, in their efforts to recruit volunteer drivers to help their senior neighbors who are aging in place and adults with disabilities who cannot drive themselves.
To volunteer, please contact JCA VillageRides 301-255-4212 or your nearest volunteer driver organization directly. Contact information for our partners are below.
