The purpose of the KARE Volunteer Driver Program is to assist those who do not have access to affordable, inter-municipal transportation (between communities) for their Healthcare and personal appointments. Each Client is required to fill out a client application.

Once the client is set up, they can just call the Strathmore FCSS office to book a ride. The client is responsible for reimbursing the driver for expenses & parking. Rides are booked on a first-come-first-served basis by calling the Strathmore FCSS office. It is recommended that trips be booked as far in advance as possible. While the Strathmore FCSS office will work to ensure that all client needs are met, the availability of rides is based on the availability of program volunteers.
