Our History
Wheels for Wellness is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit serving Winchester and the counties of Frederick, Clarke, Warren and northern Shenandoah.
​
Formerly known as Faith in Action, Wheels for Wellness provides free, door-to-door transportation to medical appointments and treatment for those in the service area without other means of transportation.
​
Faith in Action was founded in 2004 with a $35,000 grant received from the Robert Wood Johnson foundation. A community round-table the prior year exposed the need for transportation to medical appointments and treatments as a community need. At the time Faith in Action was an initiative of the foundation, in 2008 they shifted focus to other areas, however FIA non-profit organizations continue to operate.
​
In January 2020, the Board of Directors voted to alter the name to WHEELS FOR WELLNESS to more clearly define the mission of the organization. And hopefully become a more readily recognized transportation resource to the area.
​
The organization has been in continuous operation since 2004. The program is managed by a part-time Executive Director and a part-time independent contractor who manages the volunteer pool and scheduling. The service is provided by a fleet of volunteer drivers. The volunteers use their own vehicles, gas and time. Volunteers are screened and trained by Valley Health Systems volunteer services.

A dedicated and amazing team of volunteer drivers provide this service to clients. Below are recent statistics for the organization
