Tahoe Helping Hands provides Medical Appointment Transportation. The program helps ensure community members get to healthcare appointments safely, on time, and with dignity. They coordinate rides for seniors and others who need extra support getting to medical and dental visits, lab work, therapy, or other essential care.

Their drivers offer door-through-door assistance, meaning they don’t just drop you off—they help you to the door, and make sure you’re supported every step of the way.

Tahoe Helping Hands serves outlying areas around Truckee within Nevada County, which are not covered by existing local services.

To keep the program safe and reliable:

• Volunteer drivers are background-checked and trained in transportation best practices.

• Rides are scheduled in advance and coordinated by their team.

• All riders complete a brief intake so they can understand their needs and offer the right support.

• Service is always free, thanks to the generosity of donors and community sponsors.
