Transportation
A volunteer driver program will be available for people to ride on a donation basis. Volunteers will provide trips to medical appointments, the pharmacy and grocery shopping using their personal vehicle. The frequency of the transportation needed will be determined on an individual basis.
Companionship
In addition to the opportunities we offer, we also partner with local agencies to become volunteer stations. To view a list of our volunteer stations, click here.

About RSVP
RSVP, Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, is part of a national network of programs called AmeriCorps Seniors that enlists the volunteer service of adults 55 and older to use their skills, talents, and life experience to help meet community needs through volunteer service.
AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers who serve in the program choose how, where, and when they want to serve, with time commitments ranging from a few hours to 40 hours per week. Volunteers themselves report better overall health and longevity having served their community.
About Our Program
We were awarded a grant to start a RSVP program in Madison and Marion counties. Our goal is to ensure there is a volunteer driver program in our counties. There are some established RSVPs in our counties, and while we don't want to replicate what exists, we want to enhance the programs by bringing consistency of transportation options throughout our region.
If you're interested in volunteering or in need of assistance in Madison or Marion county, apply below. If you'd like information on a different county, reach out to us by clicking here.
