Office Volunteer Info

Important Current Notes:

  • Do not schedule any same day or next day rides; refer to Katrina regarding rides within 4 business days.

  • Do not schedule any out-of-town trips unless they are after September 21st. Apologize for us, as this is still new. We can only accommodate 2 drives per week given the number of drivers we have, and the need in the community. If we accept every ride, we will burn out our drivers.

  • If people can reschedule appointments, note that Aug 28, Sep 4 and Sep 7 are all bad dates for volunteers. Lots of people are away Friday, August 28 and Friday, September 4. Monday, September 7 is a Holiday.

    Note: Do not take same day or next day rides (in
    cluding calls on Friday for Monday).

  2. Match Volunteer Drivers with Requests – Use call sheets, and CIVI to contact suitable drivers for each request.
