Thank you for your interest in becoming a Volunteer Driver!

​

If you are not familiar with Wheels for Wellness it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides free transportation to medical appointments and treatment for those without other means of transportation.  Many transports are to dialysis, chemotherapy and radiation in addition to doctors’ appointments. 

​

The program is a managed by a part-time Executive Director and a part-time contractor who maintains the scheduling.  The service itself is provided by a fleet of generous volunteers.  Applicants are interviewed by the Executive Director then have a background check and DMV record check completed before being cleared to volunteer.

​

WFW volunteers use their own vehicles to transport clients.  Personal liability and secondary auto insurance coverage is provided by WFW but we also require that volunteers carry their own auto insurance. 

​

There is no required amount of driving/quota that must be met.  Volunteers may sign up for transports that work with their personal or work schedules.  Should a conflict arise after a volunteer has committed to a transport, we ask that our office be alerted promptly so we may make alternate arrangements for the client.  Transports are scheduled two weeks in advance.

​

​Inclement weather policy is on a case-by case basis, as transports vary.  No volunteer however, will be asked to drive in conditions in which they are not comfortable.    

​

Volunteers are asked to submit time and mileage monthly for all their transports.
