Ride Share Resources
The elders of Midway Hills have compiled a list of organizations you can use if you need a ride to a doctor, drugstore, or even to church. These several options each have a minimal expense. Some of them are sponsored by communities and so they may be regional to your place of residence or are private companies with city wide options. We want to give our members choices and possible options whenever the need arises for a ride.
