Driving with Care
The "Driving With Care" team assists people who need transportation to
medical appointments. Sometimes a health crisis places demands on an
individual or family that are beyond their resources. Many people who
can't drive themselves and don't have family members to help them
cannot get to their medical appointments or treatments without outside
assistance. This is where University Baptist Church is endeavoring to
stand in the gap and help those who need assistance getting to their
medical appointments. Click here to view a video about Driving With Care. Click here to see a Driving With Care driver's application.
