The Volunteer Transportation Center of Watertown, New York is a non-profit organization that provides essential rides to health, social, and other destinations for residents of Jefferson and Lewis Counties who have no other transportation alternatives. Supported by the United Way of Northern New York, the Volunteer Transportation Center utilizes volunteer drivers to provide service to communities such as Watertown, Adams, Adams Center, Clayton, Henderson, Carthage, Croghan, and Lowville. Thanks to the work of our certified volunteer drivers, staff, board of directors and the generosity of our donors, we are able to help others that have no means of transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping. Our goal is to make a difference in people’s lives by giving access to the health care they need. The Volunteer Transportation Center is a 501c3 non-profit. Partner Agencies

THANKFUL THURSDAY! We’re grateful for our friends at Lowville American Legion Post 162 for recently hosting a chicken barbecue to raise money for our mission. In addition, young entrepreneurs Vaelyn and Araiyah learned of the barbecue and volunteered to make and sell lemonade for donations to help the VTC. How cool is that? Overall, $425 was raised. Our own Jeremiah S. Papineau is seen with a ceremonial check from Sons of the American Legion Commander Bryan Rogers and fellow Legion members.
