A Call to Action for Our Community

At the DAV of Idaho, we’re putting out a call for heroes – not the kind that wear capes, but the kind that take the wheel. We’re seeking volunteer drivers to help transport our veterans to and from their VA medical appointments. It’s a simple act that makes a profound difference.

The Vital Role of Volunteer Drivers

Our volunteer drivers are more than just chauffeurs; they’re lifelines for many veterans who otherwise might struggle to access essential medical care. These drives can sometimes be the only way a veteran can get to their appointments, making each trip crucial.

What Does It Take to Be a Volunteer Driver?

Becoming a volunteer driver with the DAV of Idaho is both a rewarding and responsible role. Here’s what it involves:

  • Commitment: While the time commitment can vary, reliability and consistency are key.
  • Requirements: Volunteers need a valid driver’s license and must pass a VA-provided physical examination. DAV ensures all drivers are trained and comfortable with the vehicles.
  • Impact: Each drive you make is a step towards ensuring our veterans receive the care they deserve.

The Reward of Volunteering

Volunteering as a driver is not just about the drives; it’s about the connections you make and the satisfaction of giving back. You’ll have the opportunity to meet incredible individuals, hear their stories, and be part of a supportive community.

Join Us in Making a Difference

If you’re looking for a way to give back to those who’ve served our country, this is it. We need your help to ensure that no veteran is left behind when it comes to receiving necessary medical care.
