Drivers Needed

The Driver Ministry is here to support our parish family by offering transportation to those who need assistance getting to: Medical or personal appointments, Grocery stores and errands, Church services and parish events, and other essential local needs. This ministry is open to any parishioner who may benefit from a little extra help. We are also warmly welcoming volunteer drivers who feel called to serve. Even one ride a month can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. If you or someone you know needs a ride — or if you’d like to volunteer — please contact Eleni Reese, elenireese@gmail.com, or 630-854-2174.
