Do You Have The Drive?

Typical Volunteer Van
PICTURE YOURSELF driving a fine, late-model vehicle like the one in the picture. You are taking six of your fellow veterans to their VA medical appointments at the American Lake VA hospital in Tacoma (Lakewood) or the VA hospital in Seattle. When you get there, they thank you for the ride and you know that if it weren't for you, they might have missed their appointment and not gotten the care they earned through their service. And the frosting on the cake: the VA provides the vehicle and the gas!\

This can be you! Every day, Volunteer Drivers serving in VA Puget Sound's Volunteer Transportation Network (VTN) make the difference in getting veterans to their medical care. The network of vehicles are garaged all over the Puget Sound area because veterans live everywhere - there's probably thousands in your area. Now you can use your knowledge of your local roads and your driving ability to get them to their medical appoints on time.

If you have one day a month, or more, the VTN needs you! Why not get started? Just call 206-764-2195 (Seattle) or 253-583-1054 (Tacoma/Lakewood) and find out how that driver can be you! 
(Note: this program was started by Disabled American Veterans (DAV) but you do not have to be a member of DAV to participate)
