Community Van accommodates trips throughout the day, evening, and weekends. Trips can be a whatever you need, such as going to a play or concert with friends or going to the grocery store every week with a group.

Currently, we are seeking volunteer drivers to fulfill the volume of ride requests coming in from the community! Support your neighbors, your community and help the environment by becoming a Community Van volunteer driver. You can choose which trips you drive and the frequency.
