Welcome to Neighbor Ride
|
Neighbor
Ride's volunteers are making a world of difference in Howard County...one
ride at a time. |

NEIGHBOR RIDE is a transportation
alternative for Howard County's older residents. Because a significant
number of older Americans no longer drive, they often stay at home,
cutting themselves off from the activities and interaction that provide
quality to their lives.
Many communities across the country have tackled the problem of limited
transportation by forming grassroots, community-based services called
supplemental transportation programs. Howard County now has such a
program.
NEIGHBOR RIDE is a greatly needed service meant
to supplement public and private transportation services. It is
available to all seniors, age 60 and over, who need transportation to
healthcare or personal appointments, visits with friends and other
activities.

“I give
you an A+! …Your drivers treat us with great care and dignity. It is like
riding with a caring family member"

"Neighbor Ride is an exemplary
volunteer service - and, for me, priceless"

“I had a rewarding experience being able to help a friend who
had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I plan to visit that person
again with your transportation.”
|
|
“Every
person that you send is kind and courteous. The people are a blessing that
you can't buy in the store. God bless the entire staff at Neighbor Ride"

“Now I am
sure I can keep my doctor appointments and stay healthy.”

been a lifesaver because I hate to be late for Church and have not been
since I started using your service" |
