If you have a valid driver’s license, insured personal vehicle, a good driving record and the desire to help with transportation of individuals, the Mower County Senior Center has an open position for a volunteer driver.

A volunteer driver uses their personal vehicle to drive clients to and from appointments as assigned by the transportation coordinator. The transportation coordinator will assign client pick up times and notify a driver of the ride that’s available. A driver will pick up the client from home or place of pick up, drive to their medical appointment or necessary services.

After the appointment, the volunteer driver will give them a ride home. Drivers can make their own schedules of days and times available, in-town rides or out -of town drives, and the driver has the right to refuse a ride. Volunteer drivers receive mileage reimbursement at the federal rate, reimbursement for meals and the reimbursement of smiles and laughs. So if you love to drive or someone you know loves to drive and meet new people come down or call the Mower County Senior Center and fill out an application to become a volunteer driver today, call 507-434-2188
