BRIDGES

Our volunteer driver program, BRIDGES, provides mileage reimbursement to individuals who are unable to drive or use public transit. Eligible participants select a volunteer driver, usually a friend, family member, or neighbor to drive them to destinations such as medical appointments, grocery stores, and social activities. Each month, participants will receive a reimbursement for mileage based on individual need to reimburse their volunteer driver.
