Drive to Care

LBFE is seeking volunteers to help drive elders to medical appointments in Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw, and Marquette Counties. 

​

By becoming a volunteer, you can: 

• Volunteer around your schedule.  

• Make meaningful connections with lonely older adults. 

• Help older adults get to vital healthcare medical appointments. 

• Mileage reimbursement available when you use your own vehicle.

​

How to Volunteer

Individuals interested in volunteering need to submit an application, receive a background check, complete free orientation and training, and receive mileage reimbursement if needed to reduce your barrier to volunteering.

​

Mileage Reimbursement

Mileage reimbursement is available to volunteers who use their own vehicle to reduce the cost barrier to volunteering.

Reimbursements not used fund other transportation program expenses.

A portion of funding supporting the Drive to Care Campaign has been made possible through the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, Copper Shores Community Health Foundation and Superior Health Foundation.

Those unable to volunteer are invited to make a donation to the project.
