About HIRTA Helps & Our Grantors
Our goal is to ensure there is a volunteer driver program in our counties. There are some established volunteer programs in our counties, and while we don't want to replicate what exists, we want to enhance the programs by bringing consistency of transportation options throughout our region.
RSVP, Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, is part of a national network of programs called AmeriCorps Seniors that enlists the volunteer service of adults 55 and older to use their skills, talents, and life experience to help meet community needs through volunteers.
The Community Care Corps is a national, federally funded grant program that funds and evaluates innovative local programs designed to provide volunteer assistance to family caregivers, older adults, and persons with disabilities to assist in maintaining independence.
