"ITNPortland is the most fun volunteer work!"- volunteer driver Janette
The Independent Transportation Network of Portland helps get seniors and those with visual impairments where they need to go! Our team of dedicated and fun volunteer drivers help our riders to and from the door, giving them an elbow to hold to and from the house, to the doctor, or to a friend's for tea!
ITNPortland presently has a couple of busy hours where one volunteer ride could make it all run smoother. Saturday at 8am, Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings are busy. We have some riders that need to go to the same place every week-giving someone a perfect opportunity for making a new friend while helping make someone's day!
