The Disabled American Veterans Grant County/Fort Bayard Chapter is currently seeking volunteers to serve as drivers for the VA transportation system.

Some veterans may lack the ability or means to transport themselves to appointments.” In addition, the drivers will assist veterans to travel to the Albuquerque VA hospital, that also may include Las Cruces, Alamogordo, or a contract Physician in southwest New Mexico.
