She will match you with the needs of a care-receiver, do a background check, schedule a program orientation and discuss ongoing support and educational programs. You will be surprised at how much you receive while giving so little. Transportation Program: We need drivers. Can you drive folks to their appointments once a week or a couple times a month? No special license required. You may use your own car or our handicapped van that seats 3 to 4 passengers, and/or 2 wheelchairs. Instruction and program follow-up will be given for all involved. The need for transportation has rapidly grown in our area. If you can help, please contact our Program Director.

Like most of us, she wants to live independently in her home. She worries about whether or not she will be able to care for herself. TAIV volunteers lend a helping hand. For now, Rosemary is able to remain living in her home, and she has made new friends through association with TAIV and its caring volunteers. John is a 55-year-old disabled veteran who uses a wheelchair. He needs rides to frequent doctors appointments and help with grocery shopping once a month. TAIV volunteers drive John to his appointments in the wheelchair accessible van and gladly assist him with grocery shopping.
