Transportation Assistance
|
United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley and our partners understand the importance of access to reliable transportation. We also understand that this can be a significant barrier for some adults and youth. Our goal is to help those who need it gain access to transportation for medical appointments, employment searches, educational purposes, Dept. of Human Services appointments, WIC and other basic needs services, counseling, parent education classes, school conferences, and other critical social service appointments.

United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley, the Yamhill Community Care Organization, and the Yamhill Early Learning Hub collaborate to facilitate the Yamhill County Transportation Assistance Program. The goal of this program is to help those who need it get to appointments related to medical care, employment, Department of Human Services, WIC services, mental health services, counseling, parenting educational classes, teacher-parents conferences, and other critical social services. In particular, we want to make sure that children 0-8 and their families are healthy, stable, and have the tools they need so that children are ready for school and successful once they get there.
Bus passes and gas vouchers will be provided to non-profit agencies that work directly with the public in Yamhill County. Non-profit human service agencies within Yamhill County can access these resources by submitting a request directly to the Yamhill Community Care Organization.
