The Davies Project Kalamazoo County
Details
Description
The Davies Project is seeking compassionate and reliable volunteers to provide transportation for children and their caregivers, expectant and postnatal mothers, and parents traveling to visit infants in the NICU, ensuring families can access essential medical care across the Greater Lansing and Kalamazoo areas. This link has more information and the application.
Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to provide rides—it’s like a neighbor helping a neighbor. While this is a volunteer role, mileage reimbursement at $0.70 per passenger mile is available.

- Completion of driver orientation
Location
Health clinics in the Greater Lansing and Kalamazoo
Directions
Volunteer drivers select a ride based on their schedule of availability. They are given the address of the family to pick up and the place of the appointment. After the appointment, drivers give the family a ride home.
