Overview:
Provides transportation from Quincy to Iowa City for veterans who have appointments at the Veterans Hospitals. All veterans in a 70 mile radius meet at different pick up points (Hamilton IL, Keokuk IA, Canton MO, Donnellson, IA and points in between).

Volunteer drivers assist their fellow veterans by driving them to distant hospitals for medical appointments.

Volunteers also ship unrestricted medical supplies and return loaned equipment to the hospitals. Veterans currently serve as volunteer drivers. They are representatives of the DAV, Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion.

Volunteers Needed: Anyone who has a good driving record and who would get along with the veterans, even for just one day a week; Eligibility: All veterans must be able to enter and exit the 12-passenger van on their own and have appointments that day. Escorts are taken with veterans; Fees: Those who go to Iowa City have no charge; Limitations: Cannot transport people in wheelchairs or on stretchers.
