Overall Experience
I get such a feeling of satisfaction knowing how many people I help each and every day.
|
I'm a volunteer transportation provider for the Lynx/Penquis CAP. I am available to drive three days a week/7 hours a day. I enjoy having a flexible schedule. I also really love the fact that I am offering a service to people who truly need it. People are very appreciative of each ride they have.
