Community Volunteer Transportation Company (CVTC) is challenging all Monadnock Region drivers over the age of 21 to register to “Give a Ride” in honor of Giving Tuesday Nov. 29.
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a day that encourages people to do good. CVTC’s goal is to reach 100 volunteer drivers by the end of 2022. Volunteer drivers are needed in all 34 towns of the Monadnock region to help people get to essential services such as the grocery store, bank, post office, pharmacy and health care appointments.
Rides are provided to those in the region who do not have access to needed transportation because of age, ability, economic situation or other limiting circumstances. Drivers only volunteer when it fits their schedule by selecting their own trips using an online database, and drivers receive mileage reimbursement.
Those who are interested in joining CVTC’s Giving Tuesday initiative can visit cvtc-nh.org or call 877-428-2882, Ext. 5, to become a volunteer driver.
