We are asking for your help to provide transportation for those who need it the most. People and families with children who are struggling with financial instability and older folks living in rural areas who need to see a doctor, but have no local family for support. These are the people whose lives you'll be changing when you donate to help us drive toward a better world.
We never want to turn away someone in need just because they don't qualify for one of our funded services. Transportation should be accessible to everyone.
This will be an ongoing fundraiser that can be donated to monthly or any time you have the funds and want to break down transportation barriers. Our goal is to raise at least $1,000 each month for these services and the donation meter will reset each month.
A wonderful example of the impact this fundraiser can have on people:
We got a call from an 87 year old woman who lives in Otter Rock, 60 miles from Corvallis where she needed to go. There actually is a public transportation route that would get her there, it would just take about 10 hours. 87 years old, lives off her social security, and spends her days planting flowers in her neighbors' yards…
Imagine how freeing it was for her to hear our dispatcher say that we would pick her up, wait for the appointment, and get her back home at no cost to her. Better yet, her driver could get away with buying her dinner and doing any chores he noticed needed doing.
You make this happen by supporting Dial-A-Bus and our clients. You make sure people feel safe and cared for. You make sure our big-hearted driver can just keep doing what he does, because helping people feels right and light bulbs need to be changed.
