Mission
To enrich our communities by coordinating volunteer drivers for those who do not drive, so they can more easily stay in their homes.
Service
Free transportation for adults for errands, exercise sessions, classes, medical appointments, shopping, socialization or volunteering.
Service Area
We drive residents of Vienna, Fayette, Mount Vernon, Belgrade, Rome and Readfield to within 35 miles.
Our Drivers
The drivers are generous neighbors who donate their time, vehicle, and gas with no compensation. All the drivers have had reference, driver, and background checks to ensure the highest level of safety.
Our Staff and Board of Directors
NDN is a non-profit organization with an Executive Director and a Program Coordinator, both part-time. The volunteer Board of Directors is dedicated and very active.
Our Donors
We are proud that more than half of our funding comes from private donations, showing that NDN enjoys broad support in the communities we serve. If you would like to make a donation to keep NDN on the road and towards thriving local communities, join our Pit Crew by setting up a monthly donation. It increases the predictability and sustainability of NDN services, and it is more convenient: no need to keep resubmitting donations.
We are also grateful for the support of the Belgrade Regional Health Center, John T. Gorman Foundation, Hannaford Brothers, Kennebec Savings Bank, Maine Community Fund, Maine Council on Aging, MaineGeneral Health and the Elsie and William Viles Foundation.
