“Dignified Transportation for Seniors”

The members of the South Carolina Aging in Place Coalition support ITNCharlestonTrident (Independent Transportation Network) as one of its major initiatives.. In connection with Trident United Way’s “Day of Caring” members of the Coalition decided to cover ALL of the rides for ITN as their Day of Caring project. On Friday, September 9 2011 - ALL AIP DAY - there were 35 rides provided for seniors and the visually impaired to medical appointments, hair appointments, social engagements, etc. and they were covered 100% by SCAIP Volunteer Drivers! Thanks to the SCAIP Volunteer Drivers who participated: Terry Brown Carole Campbell Barbara Franklin Paul Franklin Dick Giffen David Heilman Jennifer Humphrey Jim Ledbetter Maureen Maguire Mary Ross McQuage Diane Sancho Christine Schinker Janet Schumacher Mark Smith Wendy Weisner
