GIVE A SENIOR THE GIFT OF MOBILITY!<br />
KATY AREA RIDE SERVICE NEEDS YOUR HELP<br />
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,<br />
visiting a loved one, taking a pet to the vet) and occasional medical rides.<br />
Rides are provided in your personal vehicles to passengers who are age<br />
65+ and ambulatory (not wheelchair bound, may use walking aids). Time<br />
commitment is flexible and you choose the Katy territory in which you<br />
want to drive. Volunteers do not provide rides that go east of Barker<br />
Cypress, north of Clay Road, west of FM 1463 or south of Bellaire Blvd at<br />
the Grand Parkway. Benefits to Volunteer Drivers include the opportunity<br />
to help seniors retain independent living, dignity and freedom. Drivers<br />
tell us the day(s) and times they are able to drive. Drivers choose if<br />
they wait for the senior or return later to pick them up. Drivers must be<br />
between 21 years of age and 78 years of age with a good driving record,<br />
pass a background check and show proof of insurance coverage (state<br />
minimums) as required by the State of Texas. To request a volunteer driver<br />
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 />
