The Milwaukee VA Medical Center are putting out a plea for volunteers to drive veterans to appointments.

The Disabled American Veterans transported more than 22,000 veterans and drove 395,913 miles in Wisconsin last year.

The largest demand is for volunteers in Racine, Waukesha, and Washington Counties.

Volunteer drivers do not have to be veterans but must pass a physical, a background check and a driving test.

They are asked to be available once a week for at least 4 hours, but they will work on you with your schedule

Current volunteers say the experience is rewarding.

For information on how to get involved, call 414-384-2000, ext. 45715.
