VAC is looking to onboard a few volunteer drivers? Does not need to be a veteran, any gender. Entails diving the VAC van, picking up veterans at their home and taking them to either Iowa City VA, Davenport CBOC or sometimes Galesburg VA for medical appointments.
Call Jay Doherty, VAC Superintendent 309-582-2714 Option 3.
