I have been involved with The Wheels Program for over 10 years. When my business career came to an end, I volunteered as a scheduler and discovered what a joy it was to have a position helping the community. Our clients are so appreciative of a service we often take for granted. There is no other Program quite like Wheels, offering donation-based rides, to out of town locations, and interacting with the most amazing volunteer drivers. It’s been said by many “I don’t know what I would do without Wheels!” I am thankful to be a part of this great organization.
I have been a volunteer driver for The Wheels Program of Greater New Milford since 2018. It has been a wonderful, uplifting experience. By offering the simple act of driving people to and from medical appointments we provide a service that is invaluable to people who are elderly or living with disabilities who do not have access to free transportation. Our clients always express their gratitude for our assistance but as a volunteer, I'm also grateful for the opportunity to help our neighbors.
