For many veterans the DAV Transportation Program, is often their only viable source of transportation to Wisconsin’s (4) VA medical facilities. Our program is essential, simply because of the large number of veterans who have no alternative health care available to them. It is invaluable to those veterans existing on small or fixed incomes, the infirm, the elderly, as well those who cannot drive themselves for various reasons. All veterans with scheduled medical appointments are eligible to ride the DAV van free of charge. This is especially unique in today’s economy when we so often hear, “there are no free rides.” Please support our program of assistance by becoming a volunteer driver or office worker. The following locations need of your support: DAV Transportation at Zablocki Medical Center and Appleton Out-Patient Clinic is in need of Volunteer Drivers. Appleton (Fox Valley) area: Two vans are out-stationed at the Clinic. There is a dedicated run to Milwaukee Monday thru Friday with pick-up en-route to Milwaukee.
