WHAT IS IT? AFWRides is a volunteer run program under the Age Friendly Windham initiative that provides free transportation to community members that can’t or don’t wish to drive.

We provide rides to:

- medical appointments

- other personal care appointments

All rides are provided in passenger cars. Drivers must be able to transfer in and out of the vehicle with minimal driver assistance.

HELP US EXPAND OUR PROGRAM DESTINATION OPTIONS BY BECOMING A DRIVER. We are currently seeking additional volunteers in order to expand destination options. The need for this program is great and interest is growing quickly. Along with aiding our community’s wellness you are building community and providing social connections. There is no minimum time commitment required.
