Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Just ahead of the new year, a volunteer-driven service that helps seniors and people with disabilities get around Knox County hits a milestone.
Since its inception in 2009, Volunteer Assisted Transportation has helped more than 3,000 riders (3,011). From July 2022 through June 2023 alone, the service provided over 3,800 trips for more than 190 riders. Now, the organization is asking for a little more help to accomplish their mission.
Those interested need to have a driver’s license, be over 21 and be able to pass a background check and drug screen.
Anyone looking to help their community can do so by calling 865-673-5001 or visiting this website.
