Transportation
NOTE: We are not able to provide transportation to individuals in wheelchairs who are not able to transfer to a car independently. Our volunteers are not able to transport wheelchairs in their vehicles.
Transportation is the service most requested by our clients. Volunteers provide rides for clients to a variety of destinations including medical-related offices, grocery stores, barber/beauty shops, banks, activity centers, support groups and more. Access to transportation helps seniors stay independent as they age. Faith in Action Georgetown transportation services are adaptable to the needs of individual clients. Several service levels are offered such as; curb-to-curb, door-to-door and door-through-door. This ensures each client is safe and taken care of in the way best suited for them and their situation. Transportation services are provided at no cost to enrolled clients, although donations are gratefully accepted.

Errands
Sometimes seniors don't need transportation but just need a few things picked up at the store or pharmacy. Our volunteers will pick certain items up for clients if they don't need transportation but just a few errands to be run.
