The Senior Connection Wins National Award; Senior Connection Seeking More Volunteer Drivers

The National Volunteer Transportation Center

The National Volunteer Transportation Center (NVTC), which recognizes outstanding volunteer transportation programs across the country, selected the Senior Connection as its Grand STAR Award winner. The Senior Connection is the largest provider of free, escorted transportation in Montgomery County and is seeking more volunteer drivers. It is supported in part by a contract with the Montgomery County Health and Human Services, Division of Aging and Disability.
