CREST looking for volunteer drivers

CREST is looking for individuals who enjoy driving and have a desire to help people keep their medical appointments, go to the grocery store, attend social engagements or run errands. CREST provides transportation to residents of Martin County who, for a variety of reasons, do not drive or cannot drive. CREST volunteers take those in need to local engagements as well as to out-of-town medical appointments, for which the volunteer is given a gas card to help with expenses. Those interested in helping provide CREST transportation services may call the CREST office at (507) 235-3833 and ask for a volunteer application.
