GIVE A SENIOR THE GIFT OF MOBILITY!<br />
KATY AREA RIDE SERVICE NEEDS YOUR HELP DRIVING OLDER ADULTS<br />
Katy Area Ride Service (KARS) is looking for your assistance in transporting<br />
seniors in need of personal (hair salon, bank, classes, volunteering, visiting<br />
a loved one, taking a pet to the vet) and occasional medical rides. Rides are<br />
provided in your personal vehicles to passengers who are age 65+ and ambulatory<br />
(not wheelchair bound, may use walking aids). Time commitment is<br />
flexible and you choose the Katy territory in which you want to drive. Volunteers<br />
do not provide rides that go east of Barker Cypress, north of Clay Road,<br />
west of FM 1463 or south of Bellaire Blvd at the Grand Parkway. Benefits to<br />
Volunteer Drivers include the opportunity to help seniors retain independent<br />
living, dignity and freedom. Drivers tell us the day(s) and times they are able<br />
to drive. Drivers choose if they wait for the senior or return later to pick them<br />
up. Drivers must be between 21 years of age and 78 years of age with a good<br />
driving record, pass a background check and show proof of insurance coverage<br />
(state minimums) as required by the State of Texas. To request a volunteer<br />
driver application, call 832-773-8645 or email info@karskaty.org. KARS operates<br />
under an official 501(c)(3) that designates it as a transportation service<br />
provider for seniors and non-wheelchair bound persons with disabilities.<br />
