Veterans Van program seeks volunteer drivers
The Otoe County Veterans Van Program is looking for a few good volunteers.
Volunteer drivers are needed to take veterans who live in the county to medical appointments in Lincoln and Omaha, said Otoe County Veterans Service Officer Chad Miller.
Miller said he has six drivers right now, and he would like to recruit about 10 more volunteers.
Driver candidates must pass a physical and a background check that are provided by the VA, said Miller. They receive an ID badge, which they can present at the cafeteria of the Omaha VA Hospital to receive a free meal on days they drive.
