The N2N Rides program has a host of drivers who love to drive, to contribute to their community – and, especially, to get to know their neighbors through the driver/rider relationship. They are happy to help their friends and neighbors get to important events like some of the wonderful holiday activities – or Christmas shopping – or a holiday get-together with friends and family – or everyday events like grocery shopping. If you’re over 60 and need a ride, call 824-4444. And N2N could serve more of our community neighbors if we had more drivers. Want to join our wonderful driving crew? Call 824-4444, and a team member will return your call with lots of information about how to join us.

Community
Remember that the AFCI N2N Rides Program can drive you to any of these community events. Just call 824-4444 at lease 3 days in advance of the event.
