Drivers have a dedicated route, and can work one, two or more days per week, or just one day per month. Adult drivers of any age are eligible to volunteer. Drivers receive mileage reimbursement.  If you would like to volunteer, or need more information, please call Ashley Bowers at the Senior Center at 937.456.4947 or 1.800.238.5146.
